Narrative Description of Business
Below is a description of the business and information to the extent material to understanding the Company’s business taken as a whole.
Products and Services, Customers, Markets and Competitive Conditions, and Methods of Distribution
The Company is the largest manufacturer of glass containers in the world. The Company is the leading glass container manufacturer in 18 of the 22 countries where it competes in the glass container segment of the rigid packaging market, including the U.S., and the sole manufacturer of glass containers in 8 of these countries.
Products and Services
The Company produces glass containers for beer and ready-to-drink low alcohol refreshers, spirits, wine, food, tea, juice and pharmaceuticals. The Company also produces glass containers for soft drinks and other non-alcoholic beverages, principally outside the U.S. The Company manufactures these products in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors. The Company is active in new product development and glass container innovation.
Customers
In most of the countries where the Company competes, it has the leading position in the glass container segment of the rigid packaging market based on sales revenue. The largest customers include many of the leading manufacturers and marketers of glass packaged products in the world. In the U.S., the majority of customers for glass containers are brewers, wine vintners, distillers and food producers. The Company also produces glass containers for soft drinks, principally outside the U.S. The largest U.S. glass container customers include (in alphabetical order) Anheuser-Busch, Diageo, H.J. Heinz, Molson/Coors, Novartis, Pepsico, SABMiller, and Saxco-Demptos, Inc. The largest glass container customers outside the U.S. include (in alphabetical order) Diageo, Foster’s, Heineken, InBev, Lion Nathan, Molson/Coors, SABMiller, and Scottish & Newcastle. The Company is a major glass container supplier to all of these customers.
The Company sells most of its glass container products directly to customers under annual or multi-year supply agreements. The Company also sells some of its products through distributors. Glass container production is typically scheduled to maintain reasonable levels of inventory.
2
Markets and Competitive Conditions
The principal markets for glass container products made by the Company are in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and South America. The Company believes it is a low-cost producer in the glass container segment of the rigid packaging market in many of the countries in which it competes. Much of this cost advantage is due to proprietary equipment and process technology used by the Company. The Company’s machine development activities and systematic upgrading of production equipment in the 1990’s and early 2000’s have given it a low-cost leadership position in the glass container segment in many of the countries in which it competes, a key strength to competing successfully in the rigid packaging market.
The Company has the leading share of the glass container segment of the U.S. rigid packaging market based on sales revenue by domestic producers in the U.S. The principal glass container competitors in the U.S. are Saint-Gobain Containers, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, and Anchor Glass Container Corporation. In addition, imports from Mexico and other countries increasingly compete in U.S. glass container segments. Additionally, a few major consumer packaged goods companies also self-manufacture glass containers.
In supplying glass containers outside of the U.S., the Company competes directly with Compagnie de Saint-Gobain in Europe and Brazil, Ardagh plc in the U.K., Germany, and Poland, Vetropak in the Czech Republic and Amcor Limited in Australia. In other locations in Europe, the Company competes indirectly with a variety of glass container firms including Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, Vetropak and Ardagh plc. Except as mentioned above, the Company does not compete with any large, multi-national glass container manufacturers in South America or the Asia Pacific region.
In addition to competing with other large, well-established manufacturers in the glass container segment, the Company competes with manufacturers of other forms of rigid packaging, principally aluminum cans and plastic containers, on the basis of quality, price, service and the marketing attributes of the container. The principal competitors producing metal containers are Amcor, Ball Corporation, Crown Holdings, Inc., Rexam plc, and Silgan Holdings Inc. The principal competitors producing plastic containers are Consolidated Container Holdings, LLC, Graham Packaging Company, Plastipak Packaging, Inc. and Silgan Holdings Inc. The Company also competes with manufacturers of non-rigid packaging alternatives, including flexible pouches and aseptic cartons.
The Company’s unit shipments of glass containers in countries outside of the U.S. have grown substantially from levels in earlier years. The Company has added to its international operations by acquiring glass container companies, many of which have leading positions in growing or established markets, increasing capacity at select foreign subsidiaries, and maintaining the global network of glass container companies that license its technology. In many developing countries, the Company’s international glass operations have benefited in the last ten years from increased consumer spending power, a trend toward the privatization of industry, a favorable climate for foreign investment, lowering of trade barriers and global expansion programs by multi-national consumer companies.
North America. In addition to the glass container operations in the U.S., the Company’s subsidiary in Canada is the sole manufacturer of glass containers in that country.
South America. The Company is the sole manufacturer of glass containers in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. In both Brazil and Venezuela, the Company is the leading manufacturer of glass containers. In South America, there is a large infrastructure for returnable/refillable glass containers. However, with
3
improving economic conditions in South America after the recessions of the late 1990’s, unit sales of non-returnable glass containers have grown in Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil.
Europe. The Company’s European glass container business, headquartered in Switzerland, has consolidated manufacturing operations in 11 countries and is the largest in Europe. The Company is a leading producer of wine and champagne bottles in France and is the sole supplier of glass containers to Scottish & Newcastle, France’s leading brewer. In Italy, the Company is the leading manufacturer of glass containers and operates 12 glass container plants. In Germany, the Company’s key customers include Scottish & Newcastle and Nestle Europe. In The Netherlands, the Company is one of the leading suppliers of glass containers to Heineken. The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass containers for the U.K. spirits business. In Spain, the Company serves the market for olives in the Sevilla area and the market for wine bottles in the Barcelona and southern France area. In Poland, the Company is the leading glass container manufacturer and operates two plants. The Company is the leading glass container manufacturer in the Czech Republic. In Hungary, the Company is the sole glass container manufacturer and serves the Hungarian food industry. In Finland and the Baltic country of Estonia, the Company is the only manufacturer of glass containers. The Company coordinates production activities between Finland and Estonia in order to efficiently serve the Finnish, Baltic and Russian markets. In recent years, Western European brewers have been establishing beer production facilities in Central Europe and the Russian Republic. Because these new beer plants use high-speed filling lines, they require high quality glass containers in order to operate properly. The Company believes it is well positioned to meet this growing demand.
Asia Pacific. The Company has glass operations in four countries in the Asia Pacific region: Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and China. In the Asia Pacific region, the Company is the leading manufacturer of glass containers in most of the countries in which it competes. In Australia, the Company’s subsidiary operates four glass container plants, including a plant focused on serving the needs of the growing Australian wine industry. In New Zealand, the Company is the sole glass container manufacturer. In Indonesia, the Company supplies the Indonesian market and exports glass containers for food and pharmaceutical products to Australian customers. In China, the glass container segments of the packaging market are regional and highly fragmented with a number of local competitors. The Company has four modern glass container plants in China manufacturing high-quality beer bottles to serve Foster’s as well as Anheuser-Busch, which is now producing Budweiser® in and for the Chinese market.
The Company continues to focus on serving the needs of leading multi-national consumer companies as they pursue international growth opportunities. The Company believes that it is often the glass container partner of choice for such multi-national consumer companies due to its leadership in glass technology and its status as a high quality producer in most of the markets it serves.
Manufacturing
The Company believes it is a low-cost producer in the North American rigid packaging market, as well as a low-cost producer in many of the international glass segments in which it competes. Much of this cost advantage is due to the Company’s proprietary equipment and process technology. The Company believes its proprietary high volume glass forming machines, developed and refined by its engineering group, are significantly more efficient and productive than those used by competitors. The Company’s machine development activities and systematic upgrading of production equipment have given it a low-cost leadership position in the glass container segment in most of the countries in which it competes, a key strength to competing successfully in the rigid packaging market.
The Company operates several machine shops that assemble and repair high-productivity glass-forming machines and mold shops that manufacture molds and related equipment.

Methods of Distribution
Due to the significance of transportation costs and the importance of timely delivery, glass container manufacturing facilities are generally located close to customers. In the U.S., most of the Company’s glass container products are shipped by common carrier to customers within a 250-mile radius of a given production site. In addition, the Company’s glass container operations outside the U.S. export some products to customers beyond their national boundaries, which may include transportation by rail and ocean delivery in combination with common carriers.
Suppliers and Raw Materials
The primary raw materials used in the Company’s glass container operations are sand, soda ash, limestone and recycled glass. Each of these materials, as well as the other raw materials used to manufacture glass containers, has historically been available in adequate supply from multiple sources. One of the sources is a soda ash mining operation in Wyoming in which the Company has a 25% interest. For certain raw materials, however, there may be temporary shortages due to weather or other factors, including disruptions in supply caused by raw material transportation or production delays.
Energy
The Company’s glass container operations require a continuous supply of significant amounts of energy, principally natural gas, fuel oil, and electrical power. Adequate supplies of energy are generally available to the Company at all of its manufacturing locations. Energy costs typically account for 15-25% of the Company’s total manufacturing costs, depending on the factory location and its particular energy requirements. The percentage of total cost related to energy can vary significantly because of volatility in market prices, particularly for natural gas in particularly volatile markets such as North America. In order to limit the effects of fluctuations in market prices for natural gas and fuel oil, the Company uses commodity futures contracts related to its forecasted requirements, principally in North America. The objective of these futures contracts is to reduce the potential volatility in cash flows due to changing market prices. The Company continually evaluates the energy markets with respect to its forecasted energy requirements in order to optimize its use of commodity futures contracts. If energy costs increase substantially in the future, the Company could experience a corresponding increase in operating costs, which may not be fully recoverable through increased selling prices.
Glass Recycling
The Company is an important contributor to the recycling effort in the U.S. and abroad and continues to melt substantial recycled glass tonnage in its glass furnaces. If sufficient high-quality recycled glass were available on a consistent basis, the Company has the technology to operate using up to 90% recycled glass. Using recycled glass in the manufacturing process reduces energy costs and prolongs the operating life of the glass melting furnaces.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Technical Assistance License Agreements
The Company has agreements to license its proprietary glass container technology and provide technical assistance to 20 companies in 20 countries. These agreements cover areas related to manufacturing and engineering assistance. The worldwide licensee network provides a stream of revenue to support the Company’s development activities and gives it the opportunity to participate in the rigid packaging market
5
in countries where it does not already have a direct presence. In addition, the Company’s technical agreements enable it to apply “best practices” developed by its worldwide licensee network. In the years 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company earned $19.7 million, $16.5 million and $16.2 million, respectively, in royalties and net technical assistance revenue on a continuing operations basis.
Research and Development
The Company believes it is a technological leader in the worldwide glass container segment of the rigid packaging market. Research, development, and engineering constitute important parts of the Company’s technical activities. On a continuing operations basis, research, development, and engineering expenditures were $65.8 million, $48.7 million, and $50.9 million for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The Company’s research, development and engineering activities include new products, manufacturing process control, automatic inspection and further automation of manufacturing activities.
Environmental and Other Governmental Regulation
The Company’s worldwide operations, in common with those of the industry generally, are subject to extensive laws, ordinances, regulations and other legal requirements relating to environmental protection, including legal requirements governing investigation and clean-up of contaminated properties as well as water discharges, air emissions, waste management and workplace health and safety. Capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment in 2007 included amounts for environmental control activities that were not material in the aggregate.
In the U.S., Canada, Europe and elsewhere, a number of government authorities have adopted or are considering legal requirements that would mandate certain rates of recycling, the use of recycled materials, or limitations on or preferences for certain types of packaging. The Company believes that governments worldwide will continue to develop and enact legal requirements seeking to, or having the effect of, guiding customer and end-consumer packaging choices.
In North America, sales of beverage containers are affected by governmental regulation of packaging, including deposit return laws. As of January 1, 2008, there were 11 U.S. states with bottle deposit laws in effect, requiring consumer deposits of between 4 and 15 cents, USD, depending on the size of the container. In Canada, there are 8 provinces with consumer deposits between 5 and 20 cents Canadian, depending on the size of the container. In Europe a number of countries have some form of consumer deposit law in effect, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. The structure and enforcement of such laws and regulations can impact the sales of beverage containers in a given jurisdiction. Such laws and regulations also impact the availability of post-consumer recycled glass for the Company to use in container production.
A number of U.S. states and Canadian provinces have recently considered or are now considering laws and regulations to encourage curbside, deposit return, and on-premise recycling. Although there is no clear trend in the direction of these state and provincial laws and regulations, the Company believes that U.S. states and Canadian provinces, as well as municipalities within those jurisdictions, will continue to adopt recycling laws which will affect supplies of post-consumer recycled glass. As a large user of post-consumer recycled glass for bottle to bottle production, the Company has an interest in laws and regulations impacting supplies of such material in its markets.
The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (“EUETS”) commenced January 1, 2005. The EU has committed to Kyoto Protocol emissions reduction targets and the EUETS is intended to facilitate such reduction. The Company’s manufacturing installations which operate in EU countries will need to restrict the volume of their CO2 emissions to the level of their individually allocated Emissions Allowances as
6
set by country regulators. If the actual level of emissions for any installation exceeds its allocated allowance, additional allowances can be bought on the market to cover deficits; conversely, if the actual level of emissions for such installation is less than its allocation, the excess allowances can be sold on the same market. While no material effect is anticipated as a result of the EUETS, the Company has sold a limited quantity of excess CO2 emissions allowances in the open market during 2007.
The Company is unable to predict what environmental legal requirements may be adopted in the future. However, the Company continually monitors its operations in relation to environmental impacts and invests in environmentally friendly and emissions reducing projects. As such, the Company has made significant expenditures for environmental improvements at certain of its factories over the last several years; however, these expenditures did not have a material adverse affect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. While not expected to be material, the compliance costs associated with legal environmental requirements are expected to continue.
Intellectual Property Rights
The Company has a large number of patents which relate to a wide variety of products and processes, has a substantial number of patent applications pending, and is licensed under several patents of others. While in the aggregate the Company’s patents are of material importance to its businesses, the Company does not consider that any patent or group of patents relating to a particular product or process is of material importance when judged from the standpoint of any segment or its businesses as a whole.
The Company has a number of intellectual property rights, comprised of both patented and proprietary technology, that the Company believes makes its glass forming machines more efficient and productive than those used by its competitors. In addition, the efficiency of the Company’s glass forming machines is enhanced by the Company’s overall approach to cost efficient manufacturing technology, which extends from the raw materials batch house to the finished goods warehouse. This technology is proprietary to the Company through a combination of issued patents, pending applications, copyrights, trade secrets and proprietary know-how.
Upstream of the glass forming machines, there is technology to deliver molten glass to the forming machine at high rates of flow and fully conditioned to be homogeneous in consistency, viscosity and temperature for efficient forming into glass containers. The Company has proprietary know-how in (a) the batch house, where raw materials are stored, measured and mixed, (b) the furnace control system and furnace combustion, and (c) the forehearth and feeding system to deliver such homogeneous glass to the forming machines.
In the Company’s glass container manufacturing processes, computer controls and electro-mechanical mechanisms are commonly used for a wide variety of applications in the forming machines and auxiliary processes. Various patents held by the Company are directed to the electro-mechanical mechanisms and related technologies used to control sections of the machines. Additional U.S. patents held by the Company and various pending applications are directed to the technology used by the Company for the systems that control the operation of the forming machines and many of the component mechanisms that are embodied in the machine systems.
Downstream of the glass forming machines, there is patented and unpatented technology for ware handling, annealing, coating and inspection, which further enhance the overall efficiency of the manufacturing process.
While the above patents and intellectual property rights are representative of the technology used in the Company’s glass manufacturing operations, there are numerous other pending patent applications, trade
7
secrets and other proprietary know-how and technology, as supplemented by administrative and operational best practices, which contribute to the Company’s competitive advantage. As noted above, however, the Company does not consider that any patent or group of patents relating to a particular product or process is of material importance when judged from the standpoint of any segment or its businesses as a whole.
Seasonality
Sales of particular glass container products such as beer are seasonal. Shipments in the U.S. and Europe are typically greater in the second and third quarters of the year, while shipments in the Asia Pacific region are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the year, and shipments in South America are typically greater in the third and fourth quarters of the year.
Employees
The Company’s worldwide operations employed approximately 24,000 persons as of December 31, 2007. Approximately 95% of North American employees are hourly workers covered by collective bargaining agreements. The principal collective bargaining agreement, which at December 31, 2007, covered approximately 61% of the Company’s union-affiliated employees in North America will expire on March 31, 2008. Consistent with past practice, representatives of the Company and the union began discussions early in 2008 in connection with negotiating a new agreement. Approximately 58% of employees in South America are covered by collective bargaining agreements with an average term of approximately 2-3 years. In addition, a large number of the Company’s employees are employed in countries in which employment laws provide greater bargaining or other rights to employees than the laws of the U.S. Such employment rights require the Company to work collaboratively with the legal representatives of the employees to effect any changes to labor arrangements. The Company considers its employee relations to be good and does not anticipate any material work stoppages in the near term.
Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations
Information as to net sales, Segment Operating Profit, and assets of the Company’s reportable segments is included in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Substantial Leverage – The Company’s substantial indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s financial health.
The Company has a significant amount of debt. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $3.7 billion of total debt outstanding, reduced from $5.5 billion at December 31, 2006. While the debt level is lower, the Company’s remaining indebtedness could result in the following consequences:
· Increased vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
· Increased vulnerability to interest rate increases for the portion of the unhedged and fixed rate borrowing swapped into variable rates;
· Require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to payments on indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development efforts and other general corporate purposes;
· Limited flexibility in reacting to the Company’s competitors that have less debt; and
8
· Limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the documents governing indebtedness, among other things, the Company’s ability to borrow additional funds.
Ability to Service Debt—To service its indebtedness, the Company will require a significant amount of cash. The Company’s ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond its control.
The Company’s ability to make payments on and to refinance its indebtedness and to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development efforts and other general corporate purposes depends on its ability to generate cash in the future. The Company has no assurance that it will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available under the secured credit agreement, in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to pay its indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. If short term interest rates increase, the Company’s debt service cost will increase because some of its debt is subject to short term variable interest rates. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s debt subject to variable interest rates, including fixed rate debt swapped to variable rate, represented approximately 62% of total debt.
The Company may need to refinance all or a portion of its indebtedness on or before maturity. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow and is unable to refinance or extend outstanding borrowings on commercially reasonable terms or at all, it may have to:
· Reduce or delay capital expenditures planned for replacements, improvements and expansions;
· Sell assets;
· Restructure debt; and/or
· Obtain additional debt or equity financing.
The Company can provide no assurance that it could effect or implement any of these alternatives on satisfactory terms, if at all.
Cash Used to Satisfy Other Obligations—A portion of the Company’s cash flow will be used to make payments to OI Inc. to satisfy certain debt, preferred stock and litigation-related obligations, including settlement of asbestos-related claims.
Although OI Inc. does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations to make payments on its outstanding public debt securities, to pay dividends on its outstanding preferred stock, to satisfy claims of persons for exposure to asbestos-containing products and related expenses and to pay other ordinary-course obligations. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from its subsidiaries, including the Company, to meet these obligations. OI Inc. makes semi-annual interest payments of $28.3 million on its outstanding public debt securities. In addition, OI Inc. pays quarterly dividends of $5.4 million on 9,050,000 shares of its $2.375 convertible preferred stock. OI Inc.’s asbestos-related payments were $347.1 million, $162.5 million and $171.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2007, OI Inc. recorded a charge of $115.0 million (in addition to previously recorded charges of $3.11 billion) to cover its estimated indemnity payments and legal fees arising from outstanding asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims and asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims expected to be filed in the next several years.
As a result of the magnitude of OI Inc.’s obligations for asbestos-related lawsuits and its dependence on the cash flows of its subsidiaries, the Company expects that a substantial portion of its cash flow will be used to make payments to OI Inc. to enable it to satisfy these obligations. These payments will reduce the cash flow available to the Company for other purposes. For additional information regarding OI Inc.’s asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and payments, see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
9
Debt Restrictions—The Company may not be able to finance future needs or adapt its business plans to changes because of restrictions contained in the secured credit agreement and the indentures and instruments governing other indebtedness.
The secured credit agreement, the indentures governing secured and unsecured notes and debentures, and certain of the agreements governing other indebtedness contain affirmative and negative covenants that limit the ability of the Company to take certain actions. For example, some of these indentures restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase its stock, make investments, create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. These restrictions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to operate its businesses and may limit its ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise.
Failure to comply with these or other covenants and restrictions contained in the secured credit agreement, the indentures or agreements governing other indebtedness could result in a default under those agreements, and the debt under those agreements, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. If a default occurs under the secured credit agreement, the lenders could cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under such secured credit agreement to become due and payable, which would result in a default under a number of other outstanding debt securities and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related to these debt securities. A default under the secured credit agreement, indentures or agreements governing other indebtedness could also lead to an acceleration of debt under other debt instruments that contain cross acceleration or cross-default provisions.
International Operations – The Company is subject to risks associated with operating in foreign countries.
The Company operates manufacturing and other facilities throughout the world. Net sales from international operations totaled approximately $5.6 billion, representing approximately 75% of the Company’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007. As a result of its international operations, the Company is subject to risks associated with operating in foreign countries, including:
· Political, social and economic instability;
· War, civil disturbance or acts of terrorism;
· Taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation;
· Changes in government policies and regulations;
· Devaluations and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
· Imposition of limitations on conversions of foreign currencies into dollars or remittance of dividends and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;
· Imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;
· Hyperinflation in certain foreign countries; and
· Impositions or increase of investment and other restrictions or requirements by foreign governments.
The risks associated with operating in foreign countries may have a material adverse effect on operations.
Competition – The Company faces intense competition from other glass container producers, as well as from makers of alternative forms of packaging. Competitive pressures could adversely affect the Company’s financial health.
10
The Company is subject to significant competition from other glass container producers, as well as from makers of alternative forms of packaging, such as aluminum cans and plastic containers. The Company competes with each rigid packaging competitor on the basis of price, quality, service and the marketing attributes of the container. Advantages or disadvantages in any of these competitive factors may be sufficient to cause the customer to consider changing suppliers and/or using an alternative form of packaging. The Company also competes with manufacturers of non-rigid packaging alternatives, including flexible pouches and aseptic cartons, in serving the packaging needs of juice customers.
Pressures from competitors and producers of alternative forms of packaging have resulted in excess capacity in certain countries in the past and have led to significant pricing pressures in the rigid packaging market.
High Energy Costs – Higher energy costs worldwide and interrupted power supplies may have a material adverse effect on operations.
Electrical power, natural gas, and fuel oil are vital to the Company’s operations as it relies on a continuous power supply to conduct its business. Depending on the location and mix of energy sources, energy accounts for 15% to 25% of total production costs. If energy costs substantially increase in the future, the Company could experience a significant increase in operating costs, which may have a material adverse effect on operations.
Business Integration Risks – The Company may not be able to effectively integrate additional businesses it acquires in the future.
The Company may consider strategic transactions, including acquisitions that will complement, strengthen and enhance growth in its worldwide glass operations. The Company evaluates opportunities on a preliminary basis from time to time but these transactions may not advance beyond the preliminary stages or be completed. Such acquisitions are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including:
· The inability to integrate effectively the operations, products, technologies and personnel of the acquired companies (some of which are located in diverse geographic regions) and achieve expected synergies;
· The potential disruption of existing business and diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations;
· The inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
· The need or obligation to divest portions of the acquired companies; and
· The potential impairment of relationships with customers.
In addition, the Company cannot make assurances that the integration and consolidation of newly acquired businesses will achieve any anticipated cost savings and operating synergies.
Customer Consolidation – The continuing consolidation of the Company’s customer base may intensify pricing pressures and have a material adverse effect on operations.
Since the early 1990s, many of the Company’s largest customers have acquired companies with similar or complementary product lines. This consolidation has increased the concentration of the Company’s business with its largest customers. In many cases, such consolidation has been accompanied by pressure from customers for lower prices, reflecting the increase in the total volume of products purchased or the elimination of a price differential between the acquiring customer and the company acquired. Increased pricing pressures from the Company’s customers may have a material adverse effect on operations.
11
Seasonality and Raw Materials – Profitability could be affected by varied seasonal demands and the availability of raw materials.
Due principally to the seasonal nature of the brewing, iced tea and other beverage industries, in which demand is stronger during the summer months, sales of the Company’s products have varied and are expected to vary by quarter. Shipments in the U.S. and Europe are typically greater in the second and third quarters of the year, while shipments in the Asia Pacific region are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the year, and shipments in South America are typically greater in the third and fourth quarters of the year. Unseasonably cool weather during peak demand periods can reduce demand for certain beverages packaged in the Company’s containers.
The raw materials that the Company uses have historically been available in adequate supply from multiple sources. For certain raw materials, however, there may be temporary shortages due to weather or other factors, including disruptions in supply caused by raw material transportation or production delays. These shortages, as well as material increases in the cost of any of the principal raw materials that the Company uses, may have a material adverse effect on operations.
Environmental Risks – The Company is subject to various environmental legal requirements and may be subject to new legal requirements in the future. These requirements may have a material adverse effect on operations.
The Company’s operations and properties, both in the U.S. and abroad, are subject to extensive laws, ordinances, regulations and other legal requirements relating to environmental protection, including legal requirements governing investigation and clean-up of contaminated properties as well as water discharges, air emissions, waste management and workplace health and safety. Such legal requirements frequently change and vary among jurisdictions. The Company’s operations and properties, both in the U.S. and abroad, must comply with these legal requirements. These requirements may have a material adverse effect on operations.
The Company has incurred, and expects to incur, costs for its operations to comply with environmental legal requirements, and these costs could increase in the future. Many environmental legal requirements provide for substantial fines, orders (including orders to cease operations), and criminal sanctions for violations. These legal requirements may apply to conditions at properties that the Company presently or formerly owned or operated, as well as at other properties for which the Company may be responsible, including those at which wastes attributable to the Company were disposed. A significant order or judgment against the Company, the loss of a significant permit or license or the imposition of a significant fine may have a material adverse effect on operations.
A number of governmental authorities both in the U.S. and abroad have enacted, or are considering, legal requirements that would mandate certain rates of recycling, the use of recycled materials and/or limitations on certain kinds of packaging materials. In addition, some companies with packaging needs have responded to such developments and/or perceived environmental concerns of consumers by using containers made in whole or in part of recycled materials. Such developments may reduce the demand for some of the Company’s products and/or increase the Company’s costs, which may have a material adverse effect on operations.
Labor Relations – Some of the Company’s employees are unionized or represented by workers’ councils.
The Company is party to a number of collective bargaining agreements with labor unions which at December 31, 2007, covered approximately 95% of the Company’s hourly employees in North America
12
and approximately 58% of the employees in South America. The agreement covering substantially all of the Company’s union-affiliated employees in its U.S. glass container operations expires on March 31, 2008. Agreements in South America typically have an average term of approximately 2-3 years. Upon the expiration of any collective bargaining agreement, if the Company is unable to negotiate acceptable contracts with labor unions, it could result in strikes by the affected workers and increased operating costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members. In addition, a large number of the Company’s employees are employed in countries in which employment laws provide greater bargaining or other rights to employees than the laws of the U.S. Such employment rights require the Company to work collaboratively with the legal representatives of the employees to effect any changes to labor arrangements. For example, most of the Company’s employees in Europe are represented by workers’ councils that must approve any changes in conditions of employment, including salaries and benefits and staff changes, and may impede efforts to restructure the Company’s workforce. Although the Company believes that it has a good working relationship with its employees, if the Company’s employees were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage, the Company could experience a significant disruption of operations and/or higher ongoing labor costs, which may have a material adverse effect on operations.
Accounting – The Company’s financial results are based upon estimates and assumptions that may differ from actual results.
In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, several estimates and assumptions are made that affect the accounting for and recognition of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions must be made because certain information that is used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or is not capable of being readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine and the Company must exercise significant judgment. The Company believes that accounting for long-lived assets, pension benefit plans, and income taxes involves the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Actual results for all estimates could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that the Company uses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Accounting Standards – The adoption of new accounting standards or interpretations could adversely impact the Company’s financial results.
The Company’s implementation of and compliance with changes in accounting rules and interpretations could adversely affect its operating results or cause unanticipated fluctuations in its results in future periods. The accounting rules and regulations that the Company must comply with are complex and continually changing. Recent actions and public comments from the SEC have focused on the integrity of financial reporting generally. The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, has recently introduced several new or proposed accounting standards, or is developing new proposed standards, which would represent a significant change from current industry practices. For example, in February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS No. 159”). FAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, therefore the Company will adopt its provisions effective as of January 1, 2008. Adoption of FAS No. 159 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. In addition, many companies’ accounting policies are being subjected to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public. While the Company believes that its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
13
principles, the Company cannot predict the impact of future changes to accounting principles or its accounting policies on its financial statements going forward.
Goodwill – A significant write down of goodwill would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reported results of operations and net worth.
As required by FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles,” the Company evaluates goodwill annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment using the required business valuation methods. Goodwill at December 31, 2007 totaled $2,428.1 million. These methods include the use of a weighted average cost of capital to calculate the present value of the expected future cash flows of the Company’s reporting units. Future changes in the cost of capital, expected cash flows, or other factors may cause the Company’s goodwill to be impaired, resulting in a non-cash charge against results of operations to write down goodwill for the amount of the impairment. If a significant write down is required, the charge would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reported results of operations and net worth.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Executive Overview – Years ended December 2007 and 2006
Net sales from continuing operations were $916.3 million higher than the prior year principally resulting from improved pricing, increased unit shipments, and favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
Segment Operating Profit for reportable segments was $372.2 million higher than the prior year. The benefits of higher selling prices, improved productivity, increased unit shipments, and favorable exchange rates were partially offset by inflationary cost increases.
Interest expense from continuing operations for 2007 was $348.6 million compared to $349.0 million for 2006. Included in the 2007 interest expense was $9.5 million for both note repurchase premiums and the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to the November 2007 repurchase of the $625.0 million 8.75% Senior Secured Notes. Included in the 2006 interest expense was $17.5 million for both note repurchase premiums and the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to the June 2006 refinancing of the Company’s previous credit agreement and the July 2006 repurchase of approximately $150 million principal amount of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. Exclusive of these items, interest expense increased approximately $7.6 million. A significant portion of the increase is interest on debt that was repaid during the fourth quarter of 2007 with the proceeds from the plastics sale. This interest was previously allocated to discontinued operations until the date of the sale.
Interest income for continuing operations for 2007 was $42.3 million compared to $19.2 million for 2006. The increase of $23.1 million is primarily due to interest earned as a result of investing a portion of the proceeds from the plastics July 31, 2007 sale until the funds were used to repay senior secured debt in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Net earnings from continuing operations for 2007 were $414.3 million compared to $116.2 million for 2006. Earnings in both periods included items that management considered not representative of ongoing operations. These items decreased net earnings in 2007 by $79.4 million and decreased net earnings in 2006 by $57.0 million.
Capital spending for property, plant and equipment for continuing operations was $292.5 million for 2007 compared to $285.0 million for 2006.

Interest Expense
Interest expense from continuing operations for 2007 was $348.6 million compared to $349.0 million for 2006. Included in the 2007 interest expense was $9.5 million for both note repurchase premiums and the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to the November 2007 repurchase of the $625.0 million 8.75% Senior Secured Notes. Included in the 2006 interest expense was $17.5 million for both note repurchase premiums and the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to the June 2006 refinancing of the Company’s previous credit agreement and the July 2006 repurchase of approximately $150 million principal amount of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. Exclusive of these items, interest expense increased approximately $7.6 million. A significant portion of the increase is interest on debt that was repaid during the fourth quarter of 2007 with the proceeds from the plastics sale. This interest was previously allocated to discontinued operations until the date of the sale.
Interest income for continuing operations for 2007 was $42.3 million compared to $19.2 million for 2006. The increase of $23.1 million is primarily due to interest earned as a result of investing a portion of the proceeds from the July 31, 2007 plastics sale until the funds were used to repay senior secured debt in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2007 was 23.8%, compared with 43.9% for 2006. Excluding the effects of separately taxed items in both periods, the Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2007 was 24.4% compared with 40.3% for 2006. The reduction is principally due to: (1) a change in mix of earnings to jurisdictions where the Company is subject to lower effective rates, and (2) the effect of higher earnings and lower interest costs in the U.S., where the Company has recognized a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. The Company expects that the effective tax rate will not change significantly in 2008.
Minority Share Owners’ Interest in Earnings of Subsidiaries
Minority share owners’ interest in earnings of subsidiaries for 2007 was $59.5 million compared to $43.6 million for 2006. The increase is primarily attributed to higher earnings from the Company’s operations in South America.

Earnings from Continuing Operations
For 2007, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations of $414.3 million compared to $116.2 million for 2006.

Executive Overview – Years ended December 2006 and 2005
Net sales from continuing operations were $383.5 million higher than the prior year principally resulting from increased unit shipments, improved pricing, and favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
Segment Operating Profit for reportable segments was $41.6 million lower than the prior year. The benefits of higher selling prices, improved productivity, fixed cost savings and increased unit shipments were more than offset by inflationary cost increases.
Interest expense from continuing operations for 2006 was $349.0 million compared to $325.4 million in 2005. Included in the 2006 interest expense was $17.5 million for note repurchase premiums and the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to the June 2006 refinancing of the Company’s previous credit agreement and the July 2006 repurchase of approximately $150 million principal amount of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. Also contributing to the increase were higher average debt balances, partially offset by lower average interest rates.
Net earnings from continuing operations in 2006 were $116.2 million compared to a loss from continuing operations of $536.9 million in 2005. Earnings in both periods included items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations. These items decreased net earnings in 2006 by $57.0 million and decreased net earnings in 2005 by $758.3 million.
Capital spending for property, plant and equipment for continuing operations was $285.0 million for 2006 compared with $373.0 million for 2005.

Interest Expense
Interest expense from continuing operations for 2006 was $349.0 million compared to $325.4 million in 2005. Included in the 2006 interest expense was $17.5 million for both note repurchase premiums and the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to the June 2006 refinancing of the Company’s previous credit agreement and the July 2006 repurchase of approximately $150 million principal amount of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. Also contributing to the increase were higher average debt balances, partially offset by lower average interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s reported effective tax rate for continuing operations was 43.9% in 2006 and (594.9)% in 2005. Excluding the effects of separately taxed items in both periods, listed in the table below, the Company’s effective tax rate for the full year 2006 was 40.3% compared with 20.2% for the full year 2005. The 2006 effective tax rate increased principally because the Company is no longer recording tax benefits on its losses in the United States. A shift in mix of earnings towards higher tax cost countries in other regions of the world also increased the effective tax rate for the year.
Minority Share Owners’ Interest in Earnings of Subsidiaries
Minority share owners’ interest in earnings of subsidiaries for continuing operations for 2006 was $43.6 million compared to $35.9 million for 2005. The increase is primarily attributed to higher earnings from the Company’s operations in South America.
Earnings from Continuing Operations
For 2006, the Company recorded net earnings from continuing operations of $116.2 million compared to a loss from continuing operations of $536.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The after tax effects of the items excluded from Segment Operating Profit, the 2006 international net tax benefit, the tax charge to increase the U.S. valuation allowance, the tax benefit of reversing an accrual for potential

tax liabilities, and the additional interest charges, increased or decreased earnings in 2006 and 2005 as set forth in the following table (dollars in millions).

Discontinued Operations
On June 11, 2007, the Company announced that it had concluded the strategic review process of its plastics portfolio and entered into a definitive agreement with Rexam PLC to sell its plastics packaging business. On July 31, 2007, the Company completed the sale for approximately $1.825 billion in cash.
Included in the sale were 19 plastics manufacturing plants in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico), Mexico, Brazil, Hungary, Singapore and Malaysia. The plastics packaging business is comprised of HealthCare Packaging and Closure & Specialty Products which design, manufacture and sell plastic packaging solutions for companies in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, food and beverage, personal care, household and automotive industries. The plastics packaging business comprised the Company’s former Plastics Packaging segment.
As required by FAS No. 144, the Company has presented the results of operations for the plastics packaging business in the Consolidated Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 as discontinued operations. Interest expense was allocated to the discontinued operations based on debt that was required by an amendment to the Secured Credit Agreement to be repaid from the net proceeds. Amounts for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation. At December 31, 2006, the assets and liabilities of the plastics packaging business are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations.
The following summarizes the revenues and expenses of the discontinued operations as reported in the consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated:

The gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $1,038.5 million includes charges totaling $62.1 million for debt retirement costs, consisting principally of redemption premiums and write off of unamortized fees, and a gain of $8.7 million for curtailment and settlement of pension and other postretirement benefits. The gain also includes a net provision for income taxes of $38.2 million, consisting of taxes on the gain of $445.0 million that are substantially offset by a credit of $406.8 million for the reversal of valuation allowances against existing tax loss carryforwards. The sale agreement provides for an adjustment of the selling price based on working capital levels and certain other factors. The Company does not expect any price adjustment to have a material effect on the reported gain on the sale of discontinued operations or cash flows.

2007 Non-operational Items
Capacity Curtailment
During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company recorded charges totaling $100.3 million ($84.1 million after tax), for restructuring and asset impairment in the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. The charges reflect the initial conclusions of the Company’s global profitability review.
In the Company’s 50%-owned affiliate in the Caribbean, declining productivity and cash flows resulted in impairment of the Company’s equity investment, establishment of valuation allowances against advances to the affiliate, and accrual of certain contingent obligations for total charges of $45.0 million.
In Europe and North America, the Company decided to curtail selected production capacity. Because the future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset groups were not sufficient to recover their carrying amounts, the assets were considered impaired. As a result the assets were written down to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The curtailment of plant capacity resulted in elimination of approximately 558 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company accrued certain employee separation costs, plant clean up, and other exit costs. In total, impairments, accrued costs, and other valuation adjustments amounted to $55.3 million with probable future cash expenditures amounting to $30.6 million. The Company expects that the majority of these costs will be paid out by the end of 2008.
2006 Non-operational Items
Capacity Curtailment
In September 2006, the Company announced the permanent closing of its Godfrey, Illinois machine parts manufacturing operation. The facility was closed by the end of the year. This closing is part of a broad initiative to reduce working capital and improve system costs. The Company also closed a small recycling facility in Ohio. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $29.7 million ($27.7 million after tax) in the third quarter of 2006.
29
The closing of these facilities resulted in the elimination of approximately 260 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company anticipates that it will pay out approximately $11.5 million in cash related to insurance, benefits, plant clean up, and other plant closing costs. The Company expects that the majority of these costs will be paid out by the end of 2008.
CEO Transition and Other Separation Charges
The Company recorded a fourth quarter charge of $20.8 million ($20.7 million after tax) associated with the separation agreement with its former CEO and with several members of the European management team. The charge also included costs related to the employment agreement with the Company’s new CEO.
Other Postretirement Benefits
The Company recorded a fourth quarter gain of $15.9 million ($11.2 million after tax) related to curtailment of certain postretirement benefits in The Netherlands as a result of certain improvements in retiree medical benefits offered by the government.
Tax Benefit
In the fourth quarter, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $5.7 million from the reversal of a valuation allowance against certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets due to improving operations, partially offset by charges related to international tax restructuring.
2005 Non-operational Items
Impairment of Goodwill
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed its annual impairment testing using business enterprise values and determined that impairment existed in the goodwill of its Asia Pacific Glass business unit. Lower projected cash flows as a result of competitive pricing pressures in the Company’s Australian glass operations caused the decline in the business enterprise value. Following a review of the valuation of the unit’s identifiable assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $494.0 million to reduce the reported value of its goodwill.
Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance
The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $300.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 to increase the valuation allowance against its accumulated net deferred tax assets in the United States. The Company had recorded net deferred tax assets related principally to asbestos charges and net operating losses in recent years. The amount of valuation allowance required under the provisions of FAS No. 109 is dependent upon projected near-term U.S. profitability including the effects of tax planning. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company determined that an additional valuation allowance was necessary because of the near-term effects on U.S. profitability of continued asbestos-related payments, significant interest expense, rising energy costs and other cost increases. As a result of the lower projected U.S. taxable income, the Company determined that certain tax planning strategies were no longer prudent and feasible and, therefore, were not likely to be implemented.

The Company’s total debt at December 31, 2007 was $3.71 billion, compared to $5.46 billion at December 31, 2006.
On June 14, 2006, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”). At December 31, 2007, the Agreement included a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, a 225.0 million Australian dollar term loan, and a 110.8 million Canadian dollar term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 15, 2012. It also included a $191.5 million term loan and a €191.5 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 14, 2013.
At December 31, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers had unused credit of $820.9 million available under the Agreement.
The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, 2007 was 6.67%.
The Agreement contains covenants and provisions that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, enter into contingent obligations, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, loans or advances, make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the business conducted, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. In addition, the Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and meet specified tests based upon financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, maximum leverage ratios and specified capital expenditure tests.
During March 2007, a subsidiary of the Company issued Senior Notes totaling €300.0 million. The notes bear interest at 6.875% and are due March 31, 2017. The notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds were used to retire the $300 million principal amount of OI Inc.’s 8.10% Senior Notes which matured in May 2007, and to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
On July 31, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its plastics packaging business to Rexam PLC for approximately $1.825 billion in cash. In accordance with an amendment of the Agreement that became effective upon completion of the sale of the plastics business, the Company was required to use the net proceeds (as defined in the Agreement) to repay senior secured debt. In addition, the amendment provided for modification of certain covenants, including the elimination of the financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a specified interest coverage ratio. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds in the third quarter of 2007 to redeem all $450.0 million of the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and repurchase $283.1 million of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes. The remaining $566.9 million of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes were repurchased or discharged in accordance with the indenture in October 2007. The remaining net proceeds, along with funds from operations and/or additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility, were used to redeem all $625.0 million of the 8.75% Senior Secured Notes on November 15, 2007. The Company recorded $9.5 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.
During July of 2006, a subsidiary of the Company used borrowings under the Agreement to repurchase $150.0 million principal amount of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded $7.3 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.
31
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company expanded the capacity of its European accounts receivable securitization program from €200 million to €320 million to include operations in Italy and the United Kingdom. The accounts receivable securitization program provides lower costs of financing than traditional bank debt. The terms of this expansion resulted in changing from off-balance sheet to on-balance sheet accounting for the program by consolidating both the accounts receivable in the program and the secured indebtedness of the same amount. Cash inflows related to receipts from customers in payment of the accounts receivable consolidated at December 13, 2005 have been classified as investing cash inflows in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
During October of 2006, the Company entered into a new €300 million European accounts receivable securitization program. The new program replaced the previous European program, described in the preceding paragraph, which was set to terminate in October 2006.

Cash Flows
For 2007, cash provided by continuing operating activities was $972.2 million compared with $272.3 million for 2006. The 2006 amount excludes $127.3 million of collections on receivables arising from the consolidation of the receivables securitization program as described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Increased Reportable Segment Operating Profit of $372.2 million contributed substantially to the improvement in 2007. Including the 2006 collection of receivables from the securitization program, working capital usage improved approximately $166.0 million in 2007 compared to 2006 due to management’s continuing focus on reducing the Company’s investment in working capital.
OI Inc. has substantial obligations related to semiannual interest payments on $1.05 billion of outstanding public debt securities. In addition, OI Inc. pays aggregate annual dividends of $21.5 million on 9,050,000 share of its $2.375 convertible preferred stock. OI Inc. also makes, and expects in the future to make, substantial indemnity payments and payments for legal fees and expenses in connection with asbestos-related lawsuits and claims. OI Inc.’s asbestos-related payments for 2007 were $347.1 million compared to $162.5 million for 2006. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from the Company to meet these obligations. Based on OI Inc.’s expectations regarding future payments for lawsuits and claims, and also based on the Company’s expected operating cash flow, the Company believes that the payments to OI Inc. for any deferred amounts of previously settled or otherwise determined lawsuits and claims, and the resolution of presently pending and anticipated future lawsuits and claims associated with asbestos, will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s liquidity on a short-term or long-term basis.
Capital spending for property, plant and equipment (continuing operations) was $292.5 million compared with $285.0 million in the prior year. The Company capitalized $27.0 million and $25.3 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, under capital lease obligations with the related financing recorded as long term debt. The Company continues to focus on reducing capital spending and improving its return on invested capital by improving capital efficiency.
32
The Company anticipates that cash flow from its operations and from utilization of credit available under the Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating and seasonal working capital needs, debt service and other obligations on a short-term and long-term basis including payments to OI Inc., described above.

(1) Amounts based on rates and assumptions at December 31, 2007.
The Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with taxing authorities may occur for our unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits is not included in the table above. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s analysis and discussion of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time the financial statements are issued. The results of these estimates may form the basis of the
33
carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results, under conditions and circumstances different from those assumed, may differ from estimates.
The impact of, and any associated risks related to, estimates and assumptions are discussed within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, if applicable, where estimates and assumptions affect the Company’s reported and expected financial results.
The Company believes that accounting for property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, pension benefit plans, and income taxes involves the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Property, Plant and Equipment
The net carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) at December 31, 2007 totaled $2,950.0 million, representing 32% of total assets. Depreciation expense from continuing operations during 2007 totaled $423.4 million, representing over 5% of total costs and expenses. Given the significance of PP&E and associated depreciation to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the determinations of an asset’s cost basis and its economic useful life are considered to be critical accounting estimates.
Cost Basis - PP&E is recorded at cost, which is generally objectively quantifiable when assets are purchased singly. However, when assets are purchased in groups, or as part of a business, costs assigned to PP&E are based on an estimate of fair value of each asset at the date of acquisition. These estimates are based on assumptions about asset condition, remaining useful life and market conditions, among others. The Company frequently employs expert appraisers to aid in allocating cost among assets purchased as a group.
Included in the cost basis of PP&E are those costs which substantially increase the useful lives or capacity of existing PP&E. Significant judgment is needed to determine which costs should be capitalized under these criteria and which costs should be expensed as a repair or maintenance expenditure. For example, the Company frequently incurs various costs related to its existing glass melting furnaces and forming machines and must make a determination of which costs, if any, to capitalize. The Company relies on the experience and expertise of its operations and engineering staff to make reasonable and consistent judgments regarding increases in useful lives or capacity of PP&E.
Estimated Useful Life – PP&E is generally depreciated using the straight-line method, which deducts equal amounts of the cost of each asset from earnings each period over its estimated economic useful life. Economic useful life is the duration of time an asset is expected to be productively employed by the Company, which may be less than its physical life. Management’s assumptions regarding the following factors, among others, affect the determination of estimated economic useful life: wear and tear, product and process obsolescence, technical standards, and changes in market demand.
The estimated economic useful life of an asset is monitored to determine its appropriateness, especially in light of changed business circumstances. For example, technological advances, excessive wear and tear, or changes in customers’ requirements may result in a shorter estimated useful life than originally anticipated. In these cases, the Company depreciates the remaining net book value over the new estimated remaining life, thereby increasing depreciation expense per year on a prospective basis. Likewise, if the estimated useful life is increased, the adjustment to the useful life decreases depreciation expense per year on a prospective basis. Changes in economic useful life assumptions did not have a material impact on the Company’s reported results in 2007, 2006 or 2005.
34
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Property, Plant, and Equipment –As required by FAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company tests for impairment of PP&E whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. PP&E held for use in the Company’s business is grouped for impairment testing at the lowest level for which cash flows can reasonably be identified, typically a geographic region. The Company assesses recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If an asset group is considered impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the asset group’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. PP&E held for sale is reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Impairment testing requires estimation of the fair value of PP&E based on the discounted value of projected future cash flows generated by the asset group. The assumptions underlying cash flow projections represent management’s best estimates at the time of the impairment review. Factors that management must estimate include, among other things: industry and market conditions, sales volume and prices, production costs and inflation. Changes in key assumptions or actual conditions which differ from estimates could result in an impairment charge. The Company uses reasonable and supportable assumptions when performing impairment reviews and cannot predict the occurrence of future events and circumstances that could result in impairment charges.
In mid-2007, the Company began a strategic review of its global manufacturing footprint. The review is expected to be ongoing in 2008 and 2009. As an initial result of this review, during the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company recorded charges that included asset impairments in North America, the Caribbean and Europe. It is possible that the Company may conclude in the future that it will close or temporarily idle additional selected facilities or production lines and reduce headcount to increase operating performance and cash flows. As of December 31, 2007, no other decisions had been made and no events had occurred that would require an additional evaluation of possible impairment in accordance with FAS No. 144. For additional information on charges recorded in 2007 and 2006, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Goodwill – Goodwill at December 31, 2007 totaled $2,428.1 million, representing 26% of total assets. As required by FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles,” the Company evaluates goodwill annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. The Company conducts its evaluation as of October 1 of each year. Goodwill impairment testing is performed using the business enterprise value (“BEV”) of each reporting unit which is calculated as of a measurement date by determining the present value of debt-free, after-tax projected future cash flows, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital of a hypothetical third party buyer. This BEV is then compared to the book value of each reporting unit as of the measurement date to assess whether an impairment of goodwill may exist.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company completed its annual testing and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed.
The testing performed as of October 1, 2007, indicated a significant excess of BEV over book value for each unit. However, if the Company’s projected future cash flows are substantially lower, or if the assumed weighted average cost of capital is substantially higher, future testing may indicate an impairment of one or more of the Company’s reporting units and, as a result, the related goodwill will also be impaired.
35
The Company will monitor conditions throughout 2008 that might significantly affect the projections and variables used in the impairment test to determine if a review prior to October 1 may be appropriate. If the results of impairment testing confirm that a write down of goodwill is necessary, then the Company will record a charge in the fourth quarter of 2008, or earlier if appropriate. In the event the Company would be required to record a significant write down of goodwill, the charge would have a material adverse effect on reported results of operations and net worth.
Other Long-Lived Assets – Other long-lived assets include, among others, equity investments and repair parts inventories. The Company’s equity investments are non-publicly traded ventures with other companies in businesses related to those of the Company. Equity investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. In the event that a decline in fair value of an investment occurs, and the decline in value is considered to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized. Summarized financial information of equity affiliates is included in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information on charges recorded in 2007, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company carries a significant amount of repair parts inventories in order to provide a dependable supply of quality parts for servicing the Company’s PP&E, particularly its glass melting furnaces and forming machines. The Company evaluates the recoverability of repair parts inventories based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicate that impairment may exist. If impairment exists, the repair parts are written down to fair value. The Company continually monitors the carrying value of repair parts for recoverability, especially in light of changing business circumstances. For example, technological advances related to, and changes in, the estimated future demand for products produced on the equipment to which the repair parts relate may make the repair parts obsolete. In these circumstances, the Company writes down the repair parts to fair value. For additional information on a charge recorded in 2006, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pension Benefit Plans
Significant Estimates - The determination of pension obligations and the related pension expense or credits to operations involves significant estimates. The most significant estimates are the discount rate used to calculate the actuarial present value of benefit obligations and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. The Company uses discount rates based on yields of high quality fixed rate debt securities at the end of the year. At December 31, 2007, the weighted average discount rate for all plans was 5.87%. The Company uses an expected long-term rate of return on assets that is based on both past performance of the various plans’ assets and estimated future performance of the assets. Due to the nature of the plans’ assets and the volatility of debt and equity markets, actual returns may vary significantly from year to year. The Company refers to average historical returns over longer periods (up to 10 years) in determining its expected rates of return because short-term fluctuations in market values do not reflect the rates of return the Company expects to achieve based upon its long-term investing strategy. For purposes of determining pension charges and credits in 2008, the Company’s estimated weighted average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 8.1%, unchanged from 2007. The Company recorded pension expense from continuing operations of $6.9 million, $36.2 million, and $3.4 million in 2005, 2006, and 2007, respectively, from its principal defined benefit pension plans. The improvement in 2007 is principally a result of higher asset values in the U.S. plans. Depending on currency translation rates, the Company expects to record approximately $26 million of pension income for the full year of 2008. The expected improvement in 2008 is a result of higher asset values, principally in the U.S. plans.
36
Future effects on reported results of operations depend on economic conditions and investment performance. For example, a one-half percentage point change in the actuarial assumption regarding the expected return on assets would result in a change of approximately $20 million in the pretax pension amount for the full year 2008. In addition, changes in external factors, including the fair values of plan assets and the discount rates used to calculate plan liabilities, could have a significant effect on the recognition of funded status as described below.
Recognition of Funded Status –FAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”, requires employers to adjust the assets and liabilities related to defined benefit plans so that the amounts reflected on the balance sheet represent the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans. These funded status amounts are measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and actuarially calculated benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2007, the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss component of share owners’ equity was decreased by $79.1 million ($70.5 million after tax) to reflect a net increase in the funded status of the Company’s plans at that date.
Funding and Credit Compliance – The Company believes it will not be required to make cash contributions to the U.S. plans for at least several years. The Company expects to contribute approximately $62.8 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans in 2008, compared with $63.9 million in 2007.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes as required by the provisions of FAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates.
As referenced in Note 10 to the Financial Statements, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”), as of January, 1, 2007. Management judgment is required in determining income tax expense and the related balance sheet amounts. In addition, under FIN 48 judgments are required concerning the ultimate outcome of uncertain income tax positions. Actual income taxes paid may vary from estimates, depending upon changes in income tax laws, actual results of operations, and the final audit of tax returns by taxing authorities. Tax assessments may arise several years after tax returns have been filed. The Company believes that its recorded tax liabilities adequately provide for the probable outcome of these assessments.
Deferred tax assets are also recorded for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. However, FAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment is largely dependent upon projected near-term profitability including the effects of tax planning. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction in which the Company conducts its operations or otherwise incurs taxable income or losses. In the U.S., the Company has recorded significant deferred tax assets, the largest of which relate to foreign and other tax credits and the accrued liability for asbestos-related costs that are not deductible until paid. The deferred tax assets are partially offset by deferred tax liabilities, the most significant of which relate to the prepaid pension asset and accelerated depreciation. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the portion of U.S. deferred tax assets not offset by deferred tax liabilities. During the third quarter of 2007 the Company sold its discontinued plastics operations. For tax purposes, the gain on the sale will be substantially offset by capital and net operating loss carryforwards. The credit for the corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance of $406.8 million was classified as a component of the gain on sale of discontinued operations. In 2007 the
37
Company implemented a plan to restructure this ownership and intercompany obligations of certain foreign subsidiaries. These actions resulted in taxation of a significant portion of previously unremitted foreign earnings and will transfer a portion of the Company’s debt service obligations to operations outside the U.S. in order to better balance operating cash flows with financing costs on a global basis. The foreign earnings reported as taxable in the U.S. were offset by net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits. Foreign tax credit carryforwards arising from the restructuring were fully offset by an increase in the valuation allowance.
ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risks relating to the Company’s operations result primarily from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates, and changes in commodity prices, principally energy. The Company uses certain derivative instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuating energy prices. In addition, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage a portion of fixed and floating rate debt and to reduce interest expense. These instruments carry varying degrees of counterparty credit risk. To mitigate this risk, the Company has established limits on the exposure with individual counterparties and the Company regularly monitors these exposures. Substantially all of these exposures are with counterparties that are rated single-A or above.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Earnings of operations outside the United States
A substantial portion of the Company’s operations are conducted by subsidiaries outside the U.S. The primary international markets served by the Company’s subsidiaries are in Canada, Australia, South America (principally Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela), and Europe (principally Italy, France, The Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Poland). In general, revenues earned and costs incurred by the Company’s major international operations are denominated in their respective local currencies. Consequently, the Company’s reported financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or highly inflationary economic conditions in the international markets in which the Company’s subsidiaries operate. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the reported dollar value of local currency earnings generally decreases; when the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the reported U.S. dollar value of local currency earnings generally increases. The Company does not have any significant foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, however, if economic conditions in Venezuela were to decline, the Company may be required to adopt the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for its subsidiaries in that country. The Company does not hedge the foreign currency exchange rate risk related to earnings of operations outside the United States.
Borrowings not denominated in the functional currency
Because the Company’s subsidiaries operate within their local economic environment, the Company believes it is appropriate to finance those operations with borrowings denominated in the local currency to the extent practicable where debt financing is desirable or necessary. Considerations which influence the amount of such borrowings include long- and short-term business plans, tax implications, and the availability of borrowings with acceptable interest rates and terms. In those countries where the local currency is the designated functional currency, this strategy mitigates the risk of reported losses or gains in the event the foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar. In those countries where the U.S. dollar is the designated functional currency, however, local currency borrowings expose the
38
Company to reported losses or gains in the event the foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar.
Available excess funds of a subsidiary may be redeployed through intercompany loans to other subsidiaries for debt repayment, capital investment, or other cash requirements. Generally, each intercompany loan is denominated in the lender’s local currency giving rise to foreign currency exchange rate risk for the borrower. To mitigate this risk, the borrower generally enters into a forward exchange contract which effectively swaps the intercompany loan and related interest to its local currency.
The Company believes the near term exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk of its foreign currency risk sensitive instruments was not material at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s interest expense is most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates applicable to its U.S. dollar indebtedness.
The Company has entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $750 million that mature from 2008 through 2013. The swaps were executed in order to: (i) convert a portion of the senior notes and senior debentures fixed-rate debt into floating-rate debt; (ii) maintain a capital structure containing appropriate amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt; and (iii) reduce net interest payments and expense in the near-term.
The Company’s fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges. Because the relevant terms of the swap agreements match the corresponding terms of the notes, there is no hedge ineffectiveness. Accordingly, the Company recorded the net of the fair market values of the swaps as a long-term asset along with a corresponding net increase in the carrying value of the hedged debt.
Under the swaps, the Company receives fixed rate interest amounts (equal to interest on the corresponding hedged note) and pays interest at a six-month U.S. LIBOR rate (set in arrears) plus a margin spread. The interest rate differential on each swap is recognized as an adjustment of interest expense during each six-month period over the term of the agreement.
The following table provides information about the Company’s interest rate sensitivity related to its significant debt obligations and interest rate swaps at December 31, 2007. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity date. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates by contract maturity date. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual cash flows to be exchanged under the swap contracts.

The Company believes the near term exposure to interest rate risk of its debt obligations and interest rate swaps has not changed materially since December 31, 2006.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company has exposure to commodity price risk, principally related to energy. The Company believes it can mitigate a portion of this risk by passing commodity cost changes through to customers. In addition, the Company enters into commodity futures contracts related to forecasted natural gas requirements, the objectives of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows. The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market with respect to its forecasted usage requirements over the next twelve to twenty-four months and periodically enters into commodity futures contracts in order to hedge a portion of its usage requirements over that period. Significant transactions related to commodity price risk are as follows:
· At December 31, 2007, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts for approximately 50% (approximately 11,680,000 MM BTUs) of its estimated North American usage requirements for the full year of 2008.
The Company believes the near term exposure to commodity price risk of its commodity futures contracts was not material at December 31, 2007.
Forward Looking Statements
This document contains “forward looking” statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. It is possible the Company’s future financial performance may differ from
40
expectations due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to the following: (1) foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, (2) changes in capital availability or cost, including interest rate fluctuations, (3) the general political, economic and competitive conditions in markets and countries where the Company has its operations, including disruptions in the supply chain, competitive pricing pressures, inflation or deflation, and changes in tax rates and laws, (4) consumer preferences for alternative forms of packaging, (5) fluctuations in raw material and labor costs, (6) availability of raw materials, (7) costs and availability of energy, (8) transportation costs, (9) the ability of the Company to raise selling prices commensurate with energy and other cost increases, (10) consolidation among competitors and customers, (11) the ability of the Company to integrate operations of acquired businesses and achieve expected synergies, (12) unanticipated expenditures with respect to environmental, safety and health laws, (13) the performance by customers of their obligations under purchase agreements, and (14) the timing and occurrence of events which are beyond the control of the Company, including events related to OI Inc.’s asbestos-related claims. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Any forward looking statements in this document are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from expectations. While the Company continually reviews trends and uncertainties affecting the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or supplement any particular forward looking statements contained in this document.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Share Owner of
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of results of operations, share owner’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
As discussed in Notes 1, 12 & 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation, defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans, respectively, in 2006.

Basis of Consolidated Statements The consolidated financial statements of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. (“Company”) include the accounts of its subsidiaries. Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from dates of acquisition. Results of operations for the plastics packaging business sold during 2007 have been presented as a discontinued operation.
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has a significant ownership interest, generally 20% to 50%. Other investments are accounted for at cost. The Company monitors other than temporary declines in fair value and records reductions in carrying values when appropriate.
Relationship with Owens-Illinois, Inc. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Owens-Illinois, Inc. (“OI Inc.”). Although OI Inc. does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations related to outstanding indebtedness, dividends for preferred stock and asbestos-related payments. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from its direct and indirect subsidiaries to meet these obligations.
For federal and certain state income tax purposes, the taxable income of the Company is included in the consolidated tax returns of OI Inc. and income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns. Current income taxes are recorded by the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns.
Nature of Operations The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass container products. The Company’s principal product lines are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. The Company has glass container operations located in 22 countries. The principal markets and operations for the Company’s products are in North America, Europe, South America, and Australia.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, at which time the Company would revise its estimates accordingly. For further information on certain of the Company’s significant estimates relative to contingent liabilities, see Note 18.
Cash The Company defines “cash” as cash and time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are included in accounts payable.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported for cash, short-term investments and short-term loans approximate fair value. In addition, carrying amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined interest rates. Fair values for the Company’s significant fixed rate debt obligations are generally based on published market quotations.
Derivative Instruments The Company uses currency swaps, interest rate swaps, options, and commodity futures contracts to manage risks generally associated with foreign exchange rate, interest rate and commodity market volatility. Derivative financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value. Whenever possible, derivative instruments are designated as and are effective as hedges, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, all changes in fair value of the related derivatives that have not been settled are recognized in current earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivatives. In accordance with FAS No. 104, cash flows from fair value hedges of debt and short-term forward exchange contracts are classified as a financing activity. Cash flows of currency swaps, interest rate swaps, and commodity futures contracts are classified as operating activities. See Note 8 for additional information related to derivative instruments.
Inventory Valuation The Company values most U.S. inventories at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Other inventories are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs) or market.
Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is evaluated annually, as of October 1, for impairment or more frequently if an impairment indicator exists.
Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets Intangible assets are amortized over the expected useful life of the asset. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicate that impairment may exist. If impairment exists, the asset is written down to fair value.
Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) is carried at cost and includes expenditures for new facilities and equipment and those costs which substantially increase the useful lives or capacity of existing PP&E. In general, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset. Factory machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from 5 to 25 years with the majority of such assets (principally glass-melting furnaces and forming machines) depreciated over 7-15 years. Buildings and building equipment are depreciated over periods ranging from 10 to 50 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Costs assigned to PP&E of acquired businesses are based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when the title to the products and risk of loss are transferred to customers. Provisions for rebates to customers are provided in the same period that the related sales are recorded.
Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included with manufacturing, shipping, and delivery costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes on Undistributed Earnings In general, the Company plans to continue to reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint ventures accounted for by the equity method. Accordingly, taxes are provided only on that amount of undistributed earnings in excess of planned reinvestments.
Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of substantially all subsidiaries and associates are translated at current exchange rates and any related translation adjustments are recorded directly in share owners’ equity.
Accounts Receivable Receivables are stated at amounts estimated by management to be the net realizable value. The Company charges off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent based upon age or customer circumstances that amounts will not be collected.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to the provision for bad debts. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a periodic basis. The evaluation includes historical trends in collections and write-offs,

management’s judgment of the probability of collecting accounts and management’s evaluation of business risk.
New Accounting Standards In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS No. 157”). FAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The statement does not require any new fair value measurements. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of FAS No. 157 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS No. 159”). FAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of FAS No. 159 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“FAS No. 141R”). FAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. FAS No. 141R also sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, FAS No. 141R will be applied by the Company to business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS No. 160”). FAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS No. 160 is effective for years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Adoption of FAS No. 160 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Compensation The Company participates in OI Inc.’s five non-qualified plans, which are described more fully in Note 11. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS No. 123R”), which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the required service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the required service.
The Company adopted the provisions of FAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method of adoption, which requires recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements beginning on the date of adoption.

Prior to the adoption of FAS No.123R, the Company accounted for stock options under the disclosure-only provisions (intrinsic value method) of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as allowed by FAS No. 123, pro forma net earnings would have been as follows:

Expected dividend yield |
| 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % |
The expected life of options is based on the assumption that, on average, options will be exercised at the mid-point between the vesting date and the expiration date. The expected stock price volatility is determined by reference to historical prices over a period equal to the expected life.
The fair value of other equity awards, consisting of restricted shares and performance vested restricted share units, is equal to the quoted market value at the time of grant.

On June 14, 2006, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”). At December 31, 2007, the Agreement included a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, a 225.0 million Australian dollar term loan, and a 110.8 million Canadian dollar term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 15, 2012. It also included a $191.5 million term loan and a €191.5 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 14, 2013.
At December 31, 2007 the Company’s subsidiary borrowers had unused credit of $820.9 million available under the Agreement.
The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, at the Company’s option, the Base Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a margin linked to the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Agreement. The margin is limited to ranges of 1.125% to 2.0% for Eurodollar loans and 0.125% to 1.0% for Base Rate loans. The margin was reduced by 0.25% upon achievement of a specified senior secured debt rating. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, 2007 was 6.67%. While no compensating balances are required by the Agreement, the Borrowers must pay a facility fee on the Revolving Credit Facility commitments ranging from 0.20% to 0.50%.
Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, which have a book value of approximately $2.9 billion. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All borrowings under the agreement are guaranteed by substantially all domestic subsidiaries of the Company for the term of the Agreement.

Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
The Agreement contains covenants and provisions that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, enter into contingent obligations, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, loans or advances, make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the business conducted, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. In addition, the Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and meet specified tests based upon financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, maximum leverage ratios and specified capital expenditure tests.
During March 2007, a subsidiary of the Company issued Senior Notes totaling €300.0 million. The notes bear interest at 6.875% and are due March 31, 2017. The notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds were used to retire the $300 million principal amount of OI Inc.’s 8.10% Senior Notes which matured in May 2007, and to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
On July 31, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its plastics packaging business to Rexam PLC for approximately $1.825 billion in cash. In accordance with an amendment of the Agreement that became effective upon completion of the sale of the plastics business, the Company was required to use the net proceeds (as defined in the Agreement) to repay senior secured debt. In addition, the amendment provides for modification of certain covenants, including the elimination of the financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a specified interest coverage ratio. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds in the third quarter of 2007 to redeem all $450.0 million of the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and repurchase $283.1 million of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes. The remaining $566.9 million of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes were repurchased or discharged in accordance with the indenture in October 2007. The remaining net proceeds, along with funds from operations and/or additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility, were used to redeem all $625.0 million of the 8.75% Senior Secured Notes on November 15, 2007. The Company recorded $9.5 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees. See Note 21 for additional charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees included in the gain on sale of the Company’s plastics business.
During July of 2006, a subsidiary of the Company used borrowings under the Agreement to repurchase $150.0 million principal amount of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded $7.3 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.
Amounts payable to OI Inc. above equal OI Inc.’s total indebtedness. Interest costs on amounts payable to OI Inc. are charged to the Company in the same amount as incurred by OI Inc. The Company and a principal subsidiary of the Company guarantee the senior notes and debentures of OI Inc. on a subordinated basis. The fair value of the OI Inc. debt being guaranteed by the Company at December 31, 2007 was $755.0 million.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company expanded the capacity of its European accounts receivable securitization program from €200 million to €320 million to include operations in Italy and the United Kingdom. The accounts receivable securitization program provides lower costs of financing than traditional bank debt. The terms of this expansion resulted in changing from off-balance sheet to on-balance sheet accounting for the program by consolidating both the accounts receivable in the program and the secured indebtedness of the same amount. Cash inflows related to receipts from customers in

8. Derivative Instruments At December 31, 2007, the Company had the following derivative instruments related to its various hedging programs:
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Fair Value Hedges
In the fourth quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements with a current total notional amount of $750 million that mature from 2008 through 2013. The swaps were executed in order to: (i) convert a portion of the senior notes and senior debentures fixed-rate debt into floating-rate debt; (ii) maintain a capital structure containing appropriate amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt; and (iii) reduce net interest payments and expense in the near-term.
The Company’s fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges. Because the relevant terms of the swap agreements match the corresponding terms of the notes, there is no hedge ineffectiveness. Accordingly, the Company recorded the net of the fair market values of the swaps as a long-term asset (liability) along with a corresponding net increase (decrease) in the carrying value of the hedged debt.
Under the swaps, the Company receives fixed rate interest amounts (equal to interest on the corresponding hedged note) and pays interest at a six-month U.S. LIBOR rate (set in arrears) plus a margin spread (see table below). The interest rate differential on each swap is recognized as an adjustment of interest expense during each six-month period over the term of the agreement.

Commodity Hedges
The Company enters into commodity futures contracts related to forecasted natural gas requirements, the objectives of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows. The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market with respect to its forecasted usage requirements over the next twelve to eighteen months and periodically enters into commodity futures contracts in order to hedge a portion of its usage requirements over that period. At December 31, 2007, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts for approximately 50% (approximately 11,680,000 MM BTUs) of its estimated North American usage requirements for the full year of 2008.
The Company accounts for the above futures contracts on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets the required criteria
57
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
for, a cash flow hedge is recorded in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Any material portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is deemed to be ineffective is recognized in current earnings.
The above futures contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2007.
At December 31, 2007, an unrecognized loss of $4.5 million (pretax and after tax), related to the domestic commodity futures contracts, was included in OCI, which will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months. The ineffectiveness related to these natural gas hedges for the year ended December 31, 2007 was not material.
Other Hedges
The Company’s subsidiaries may enter into short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign currencies at set rates in the future. These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. Subsidiaries may also use forward exchange agreements to offset the foreign currency risk for receivables and payables not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies. The Company records these short-term forward exchange agreements on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value are recognized in current earnings.
Balance Sheet Classification
The Company records the fair values of derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as follows: (1) receivables if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity within one year, (2) deposits, receivables, and other assets if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity after one year, (3) accounts payable and other current liabilities if the instrument has a negative fair value and maturity within one year, and (4) other liabilities if the instrument has a negative fair value and maturity after one year.
9. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The components of comprehensive income are: (a) net earnings; (b) change in fair value of certain derivative instruments; (c) pension and other postretirement benefit adjustments; and (d) foreign currency translation adjustments. The net effect of exchange rate fluctuations generally reflects changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies between the beginning and end of the year.

In 2007 the Company implemented a plan to restructure the ownership and intercompany obligations of certain foreign subsidiaries. These actions resulted in taxation of a significant portion of previously unremitted foreign earnings and will transfer a portion of the Company’s debt service obligations to operations outside the U.S. in order to better balance operating cash flows with financing costs on a global basis. The foreign earnings reported as taxable in the U.S. were offset by net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits. Foreign tax credit carryforwards arising from the restructuring were fully offset by an increase in the valuation allowance.
The Company has tax holidays in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions which expire between 2012 to 2015.
At December 31, 2007, before valuation allowance, the Company has unused research tax credits of $10.0 million expiring from 2008 to 2028 and foreign tax credits of $417.0 million expiring in 2017. The Company also has unused alternative minimum tax credits of $21.4 million which do not expire and which will be available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. Approximately $140.0 million of the deferred tax assets relate to net operating and capital loss carryforwards that can be carried over indefinitely with the remaining $173.5 million expiring between 2008 and 2027.
At December 31, 2007, the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $1,339.2 million. The Company intends to
62
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the non-U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which would be payable should these earnings be distributed.
The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or whenever events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with other positive and negative evidence.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recorded an additional valuation allowance from both continuing and discontinued operations of $306.6 million because of the near-term effects on U.S. profitability of continued asbestos-related payments by OI Inc., significant interest expense, rising energy costs and other cost increases. These changes in circumstances would have increased the beginning-of-year valuation allowance by approximately $170.0 million. In 2006, the Company recorded an additional valuation allowance from continuing operations of $62.6 million in the United States due to the continued impact of the above items on profitability. In 2007, the Company reduced the valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets in the United States by $506.3 million through the utilization of net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards.
Other international valuation allowances approximating $89.0 million were established principally in prior years in allocation of the costs of acquisitions. Any future reductions of these components will result in reductions of goodwill.
During 2005, the Company recorded a benefit of $61.8 million from discontinued operations resulting from the reversal of an accrual for potential tax liabilities related to a previous divestiture. The accrual was no longer required based on the Company’s reassessment of the potential liabilities due to several factors, including statute expiration in September 2005.
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) as of January 1, 2007. This interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 defines criteria that a tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and also includes requirements for measuring the amount of the benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.
As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment to retained earnings for unrecognized income tax benefits. The Company reclassified $8.9 million of deferred tax assets related to U.S. general business credits that were previously offset by a full valuation allowance to the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. This balance sheet reclassification had no effect on share owners’ equity. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company is maintaining its historical method of accruing interest (net of related tax benefits) and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits as a component of its income tax expense.
The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007:

At December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $3.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively (net of related tax benefits). Tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 includes interest and penalties of $0.6 million on unrecognized tax benefits for prior years.
The unrecognized tax benefit liability, including interest, as of December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007 was $53.4 million and $47.0 million respectively. Approximately $36.0 million and $22.0 million as of December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007, respectively, relate to unrecognized tax benefits, which if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective income tax rate. This amount differs from the gross unrecognized tax benefits presented in the table above because of the indirect effect of the state unrecognized tax benefit, interest and penalties and unrecognized tax benefits that would result in the utilization of certain U.S. tax attribute carryforwards that are currently subject to a full valuation allowance due to uncertainties about their future period utilization. Due to changes in its U.S. tax carryforward losses in 2007, approximately $7.5 million of uncertain tax benefit previously not affecting the effective tax rate has been reclassified to items affecting the effective tax rate.
The Company and/or one of its subsidiaries files a U.S. federal income tax return as well as income tax returns in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years through 1999 have been settled with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and there is no current IRS examination in progress. Due to the existence of tax attribute carryforwards (which are currently offset by full valuation allowances) in the U.S., the Company treats certain post-1999 tax positions as unsettled because of the taxing authorities’ ability to modify these attributes. The 2000 tax year is the earliest open year for the Company’s other major tax jurisdictions.
The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Restricted Shares
Shares granted to employees prior to March 22, 2005, generally vest after three years or upon retirement, whichever is later. Shares granted after March 21, 2005, vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary and unvested shares are forfeited upon termination of employment. Shares granted to directors are immediately vested but may not be sold until the third anniversary of the share grant or the end of the director’s then current term on the board, whichever is later.
The fair value of the shares is equal to the market price of the shares on the date of the grant. The fair value of restricted shares granted before March 22, 2005, is amortized ratably over the vesting period. The fair value of restricted shares granted after March 21, 2005, is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

Performance Vested Restricted Share Units
Restricted share units vest on January 1 of the third year following the year in which they are granted. Holders of vested units receive 0.5 to 1.5 shares of OI Inc.’s common stock for each unit, depending upon the attainment of consolidated performance goals established by the Compensation Committee of OI Inc.’s Board of Directors. If minimum goals are not met, no shares will be issued. Granted but unvested restricted share units are forfeited upon termination of employment, unless certain retirement criteria are met.
The fair value of each restricted share unit is equal to the product of the fair value of OI Inc.’s common stock on the date of grant and the estimated number of shares into which the restricted share unit will be converted. The fair value of restricted share units is amortized ratably over the vesting period. Should the estimated number of shares into which the restricted share unit will be converted change, an adjustment will be recorded to recognize the accumulated difference in amortization between the revised and previous estimates.

As of December 31, 2007, there was $20.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested stock options, restricted shares and performance vested restricted share units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately four years.
12. Pension Benefit Plans Net expense to results of operations for all of the Company’s pension plans and certain deferred compensation arrangements amounted to $24.9 million in 2007, $41.9 million in 2006, and $14.7 million in 2005.
The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees located in the United States, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Germany and France. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of service for hourly employees. The Company’s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. The Company’s defined benefit pension plans use a December 31 measurement date. The following tables relate to the Company’s principal defined benefit pension plans.

Amortization included in net pension expense (credits) is based on the average remaining service of employees.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the minimum pension liability for the pension plan in the United Kingdom from the minimum liabilities recorded in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company decreased the minimum pension liability by $38.5 million and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $38.5 million.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the minimum pension liability for the pension plan in Canada from the minimum liabilities recorded in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company decreased the minimum pension liability by $9.7 million and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $9.7 million.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the minimum pension liability for the pension plan in Germany from the minimum liabilities recorded in 2005. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company decreased the minimum pension liability by $6.8 million and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $6.8 million.
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 (“FAS No. 158”), “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” as of December 31, 2006. FAS No. 158 requires employers to adjust the assets and liabilities related to defined benefit plans so that the amounts reflected on the balance sheet represent the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans. These funded status amounts are measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date. For pension plans, the fair value of plan assets is compared to the Projected Benefit Obligation (“PBO”). In the Company’s case, the required adjustments resulted in a non-cash charge to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity.
The following table shows the impact on the balance sheet of applying FAS No. 158 at December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions):

For 2007, the Company’s weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.08%. In developing this assumption, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers, including their review of asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions. The Company also considered its historical 10-year average return (through December 31, 2006), which was in line with the expected long-term rate of return assumption for 2007.

It is the Company’s policy to invest pension plan assets in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes within the above target asset allocation ranges. The investment risk of the assets is limited by appropriate diversification both within and between asset classes. The assets for both the U.S. and non-U.S. plans are primarily invested in a broad mix of domestic and international equities, domestic and international bonds, and real estate, subject to the target asset allocation ranges. The assets are managed with a view to ensuring that sufficient liquidity will be available to meet expected cash flow requirements.
The Company expects to contribute $62.8 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans in 2008.
The following estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid in the years indicated:

Benefits provided by the Company for certain hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. Most other domestic hourly retirees receive health and life insurance benefits from a multi-employer trust established by collective bargaining. Payments to the trust as required by the bargaining agreements are based upon specified amounts per hour worked and were $7.4 million in 2007, $7.4 million in 2006, and $6.6 million in 2005. Postretirement health and life benefits for retirees of foreign subsidiaries are generally provided through the national health care programs of the countries in which the subsidiaries are located.
FAS No. 158 requires employers to adjust the assets and liabilities related to defined benefit plans so that the amounts reflected on the balance sheet represent the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans. These funded status amounts are measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date. For other postretirement benefit plans, the fair value of plan assets is compared to the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation (“APBO”). In the
76
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Company’s case, the required adjustments resulted in a non-cash charge to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity.

14. Other Revenue Other revenue in 2006 includes a gain of $15.9 million ($11.2 million after tax) related to curtailment of certain postretirement benefits in The Netherlands.
Other revenue in 2005 includes $28.1 million (pretax and after tax) for the sale of the Company’s Corsico, Italy glass container facility.
15. Other Costs and Expenses Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 included the following:
· During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company recorded charges totaling $100.3 million ($84.1 million after tax), for restructuring and asset impairment in the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. The charges reflect the initial conclusions of the Company’s global profitability review.
In the Company’s 50%-owned affiliate in the Caribbean, declining productivity and cash flows resulted in impairment of the Company’s equity investment, establishment of valuation allowances against advances to the affiliate, and accrual of certain contingent obligations for total charges of $45.0 million.
In Europe and North America, the Company decided to curtail selected production capacity. Because the future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset groups were not sufficient to recover their carrying amounts, the assets were considered impaired. As a result the assets were written down to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The curtailment of plant capacity resulted in elimination of approximately 558 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company accrued certain employee separation costs, plant clean up, and other exit costs. In total, impairments, accrued costs, and other valuation adjustments amounted to $55.3 million with probable future cash expenditures amounting to $30.6 million. The Company expects that the majority of these costs will be paid out by the end of 2008.
Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 included the following:
77
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
· During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a charge of $29.7 million ($27.7 million after tax), principally related to the closing of its Godfrey, Illinois machine parts manufacturing operation. See Note 16 for additional details.
Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 included the following:
· During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a charge of $494.0 million to write down a portion of the goodwill in its Asia Pacific Glass business unit. See Note 20 for more information.
· Manufacturing costs for the first quarter of 2005 included a favorable adjustment of approximately $10.0 million to the Company’s accruals for self insured risks.
· Manufacturing costs for the second quarter of 2005 included a favorable adjustment for depreciation and amortization in connection with finalizing the fair values of the BSN Glasspack assets acquired in June 2004. The difference between the estimated amounts recorded in 2004 and the final amounts related to 2004 accounted for a benefit of approximately $6.5 million.
16. Restructuring Accruals In September 2006, the Company announced the permanent closing of its Godfrey, Illinois machine parts manufacturing and assembly operation. The facility was closed by the end of 2006. This closing is part of a broad initiative to reduce working capital and improve system costs. The Company also closed a small recycling facility in Ohio. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded a charge of $29.7 million ($27.7 million after tax) in other costs and expenses in the third quarter of 2006.
The closing of these facilities resulted in the elimination of approximately 260 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company anticipates that it will pay out approximately $14.5 million in cash related to insurance, benefits, plant clean up, and other plant closing costs. The Company expects that the majority of these costs will be paid out by the end of 2008.

During the second quarter of 2005, the Company concluded its evaluation of acquired capacity in connection with the acquisition of BSN Glasspack S.A. and announced the permanent closing of its Düsseldorf, Germany glass container factory, and the shutdown of a furnace at its Reims, France glass container facility, both in 2005. These actions were part of the European integration strategy to optimally align the manufacturing capacities with the market and improve operational efficiencies. As a result, the Company recorded an accrual of €47.1 million through an adjustment to goodwill.
78
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
These actions resulted in the elimination of approximately 400 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company anticipates that it will pay a total of approximately €110.9 million in cash related to severance, benefits, plant clean-up, and other plant closing costs related to restructuring accruals.
The European restructuring accrual recorded in the second quarter of 2005 was in addition to the initial estimated accrual of €63.8 million recorded in 2004.

17. Additional Interest Charges from Early Extinguishment of Debt During 2007, the Company recorded additional interest charges of $9.5 million ($8.8 million after tax) for note repurchase premiums and the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to debt that was repaid prior to its maturity. During 2006, the Company recorded additional interest charges of $17.5 million ($17.1 million after tax) for note repurchase premiums and the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to debt that was repaid prior to its maturity. During 2005, the Company recorded additional interest charges of $1.4 million ($1.0 million after tax) for the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to the reduction of available credit under the Company’s bank credit agreement.
18. Contingencies OI Inc. is one of a number of defendants in a substantial number of lawsuits filed in numerous state and federal courts by persons alleging bodily injury (including death) as a result of exposure to dust from asbestos fibers. From 1948 to 1958, one of OI Inc.’s former business units commercially produced and sold approximately $40 million of a high-temperature, calcium-silicate based pipe and block insulation material containing asbestos. OI Inc. exited the pipe and block insulation business in April 1958. The traditional asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims relating to such production and sale of asbestos material typically allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and in some cases, punitive damages in various amounts (he rein referred to as “asbestos claims”).
The following table shows the approximate number of plaintiffs and claimants who had asbestos claims pending against OI Inc. at the beginning of each listed year, the number of claims disposed of during that year, the year’s filings and the claims pending at the end of each listed year (eliminating duplicate filings):

Based on an analysis of the lawsuits pending as of December 31, 2007, approximately 89% of plaintiffs either do not specify the monetary damages sought, or in the case of court filings, claim an amount sufficient to invoke the jurisdictional minimum of the trial court. Approximately 9% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages of $15 million or less, and 1% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages greater than $15 million but less than $100 million. Fewer than 1% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages $100 million or greater but less than $123 million.
As indicated by th e foregoing summary, current pleading practice permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages. OI Inc.’s experience resolving hundreds of thousands of asbestos claims and lawsuits over an extended period, demonstrates that the monetary relief which may be alleged in a complaint bears little relevance to a claim’s merits or disposition value. Rather, the amount potentially recoverable is determined by such factors as the plaintiff’s severity of disease, the product identification evidence against specific defendants, the defenses available to those defendants, the specific jurisdiction in which the claim is made, and the plaintiff’s history of smoking or exposure to other possible disease-causative factors.
In addition to the pending claims set for th above, OI Inc. has claims-handling agreements in place with many plaintiffs’ counsel throughout the country. These agreements require evaluation and negotiation regarding whether particular claimants qualify under the criteria established by such agreements. The criteria for such claims include verification of a compensable illness and a reasonable probability of exposure to a product manufactured by OI Inc.’s former business unit during its manufacturing period ending in 1958. Some plaintiffs’ counsel have historically withheld claims under these agreements for later presentation while focusing their attention on active litigation in the tort system. OI Inc. believes that as of December 31, 2007 there are approximately 1,100 claims against other defendants which are likely to be asserted some time in the future against OI Inc. These claims are not included in the pending “lawsuits and claims” totals set forth above.
OI Inc. is also a defendant in other asbestos-related lawsuits or claims involving maritime workers, medical monitoring claimants, co-defendants and property damage claimants. Based upon its past experience, OI Inc. believes that these categories of lawsuits and claims will not involve any material liability and they are not included in the above description of pending matters or in the following description of disposed matters.
Since receiving its first asbestos claim, OI Inc. as of December 31, 2007, has disposed of the asbestos claims of approximately 361,000 plaintiffs and claimants at an average indemnity payment p er claim of approximately $6,900. Certain of these dispositions have included deferred amounts payable over a number of years. Deferred amounts payable totaled approximately $34.0 million at December 31, 2007 ($82.6 million at December 31, 2006) and are included in the foregoing average indemnity payment per claim. OI Inc.’s indemnity payments for these claims have varied on a per claim basis, and are expected to continue to vary considerably over time. As discussed above, a part of OI Inc.’s objective is to achieve, where possible, resolution of asbestos claims pursuant to claims-handling agreements. Failure of claimants to meet certain medical and product exposure criteria in OI Inc.’s administrative claims
80
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
handling agreements has generally reduced the number of marginal or suspect claims that would otherwise have been received. This may have the effect of increasing OI Inc.’s per-claim average indemnity payment over time.
OI Inc. believes that its ultimate asbestos-related liability (i.e., its indemnity payments or other claim disposition costs plus related legal f ees) cannot be estimated with certainty. Beginning with the initial liability of $975 million established in 1993, OI Inc. has accrued a total of approximately $3.22 billion through 2007, before insurance recoveries, for its asbestos-related liability. OI Inc.’s ability reasonably to estimate its liability has been significantly affected by the volatility of asbestos-related litigation in the United States, the expanding list of non-traditional defendants that have been sued in this litigation and found liable for substantial damage awards, the use of mass litigation screenings to generate new lawsuits, the large number of claims asserted or filed by parties who claim prior exposure to asbestos materials but have no present physical impairment as a result of such exposure, and the significant number of co-defendants that have filed for bankruptcy.
OI Inc. has continued to monitor trends which may affect its ultimate liability and has continued to analyze the developments and variables affecting or likely to affect the resolution of pending and future asbestos claims against OI Inc. The material components of OI Inc.’s accrued liability are based on amounts estimated by OI Inc. in connection with its annual comprehensive review and consist of the following: (i) the reasonably probable contingent liability for asbestos claims already asserted against OI Inc.; (ii) the contingent liability for preexisting but unasserted asbestos claims for prior periods arising under its administrative claims-handling agreements with various plaintiffs’ counsel; (iii) the contingent liability for asbestos claims not yet asserted against OI Inc., but which OI Inc. believes it is reasonably probable will be asserted in the next several years, to the degree that an estimation as to f uture claims is possible, and (iv) the legal defense costs likely to be incurred in connection with the foregoing types of claims.
The significant assumptions underlying the material components of OI Inc.’s accrual concern:
a) the extent to which settlements are limited to claimants who were exposed to OI Inc.’s asbestos-containing insulation prior to its exit from that business in 1958;
b the extent to which claims are resolved under OI Inc.’s administrative claims agreements or on terms comparable to those set forth in those agreements;
c) the extent to which OI Inc.’s accelerated settlements in 2007 impact the number and type of future claims and lawsuits;
d) the extent of decrease or increase in the inventory of pendin g serious disease cases;
e) the extent to which OI Inc. is able to defend itself successfully at trial;
f) the extent to which courts and legislatures eliminate, reduce or permit the diversion of financial resources for unimpaired claimants and so-called forum shopping;
g) the extent to which additional defendants with substantial resources and assets are required to participate significantly in the resolution of future asbestos lawsuits and claims;
h) the number and timing of co-defendant bankruptcies; and
81
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
i) the extent to which the resolution of co-defendant bankruptcies direct resources to resolve claims that are also presented to OI Inc.
As noted above, OI Inc. conducts a comprehensive review of its asbestos-related liabilities and costs annually in connection with finalizing and reporting its annual results of operations, unless significant changes in trends or new developments warrant an earlier review. If the results of an annual comprehensive review indicate that the existing amount of the accrued liability is insufficient to cover its estimated future asbestos-related costs, then OI Inc. will record an appropriate charge to increase the accrued liability. OI Inc. believes that an estimation of the reasonably probable amount of the contingent liability for claims not yet asserted against OI Inc. is not possible beyond a period of several years. Therefore, while the results of future annual comprehensive reviews cannot be determined, OI Inc. expects the addition of one year to the estimation period will result in an annual charge.
The ultimate legal and financial liability of OI Inc. with respect to the lawsuits and proceedings referred to above, in addition to other pending litigation, cannot be estimated with certainty. OI Inc.’s reported results of operations for 2007 were materially affected by the $115.0 million fourth quarter charge for asbestos-related costs and asbestos-related payments continue to be substantial. Any future additional charge would likewise materially affect OI Inc.’s results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Also, the continued use of significant amounts of cash for asbestos-related costs has affected and will continue to affect the Company’s and OI Inc.’s cost of borrowing and its ability to pursue global or domestic acquisitions. However, the Company believes that its operating cash flows and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund OI Inc.’s asbestos-related payments and to fund the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements on a short-term and long-term basis.
Other litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are nonroutine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief. In accordance with FAS No. 5, the Company records a liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the factors upon which the estimates are based including additional information, negotiations, settlements, and other events. The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company with respect to the lawsuits and proceedings referred to above, in addition to other pending litigation, cannot be estimated with certainty. However, the Company believes, based on its examination and review of such matters and experience to date, that such ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
19. Segment Information The Company’s former Plastics Packaging segment has been reclassified to discontinued operations as a result of the July 31, 2007 sale of that business. Following the sale, the Company redefined its reportable segments and divided the former Glass Containers segment into four geographic segments: (1) North America; (2) Europe; (3) Asia Pacific; (4) South America. These four segments are aligned with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass operations. In connection with this change, certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing are reported with Retained Corporate Costs and Other. These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, global engineering, and non-glass equity investments. Amounts for 2006 and 2005 in the following tables are presented on the redefined basis.
The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is Segment Operating Profit, which consists of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes and minority share owners’ interests in earnings of subsidiaries and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations. The
82
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Company’s management uses Segment Operating Profit, in combination with selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.
Segment Operating Profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. The information below is presented on a continuing operations basis, and therefore, the amounts exclude amounts related to the discontinued operations. See Note 21 for more information.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that impairment existed in the goodwill of its Asia Pacific Glass business unit. Lower projected cash flows, principally as a result of competitive pricing pressures in the Company’s Australian glass operations, caused the decline in the business enterprise value. Following a review of the valuation of the unit’s identifiable assets using discounted cash flow measurement techniques, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $494.0 million to reduce the reported value of its goodwill.

During the fourth quarters of 2007 and 2006, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that no impairment existed.
21. Discontinued Operations On June 11, 2007, the Company announced that it had concluded the strategic review process of its plastics portfolio and entered into a definitive agreement with Rexam PLC to sell its plastics packaging business. On July 31, 2007, the Company completed the sale for approximately $1.825 billion in cash.
Included in the sale were 19 plastics manufacturing plants in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico), Mexico, Brazil, Hungary, Singapore and Malaysia. The plastics packaging business is comprised of HealthCare Packaging and Closure & Specialty Products which design, manufacture and sell plastic packaging solutions for companies in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, food and beverage, personal care, household and automotive industries. The plastics packaging business comprised the Company’s former Plastics Packaging segment.
As required by FAS No. 144, the Company has presented the results of operations for the plastics packaging business in the Consolidated Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 as discontinued operations. Interest expense was allocated to the discontinued operations based on debt that was required by an amendment to the Agreement to be repaid from the net proceeds. Amounts for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation. At December 31, 2006, the assets and liabilities of the plastics packaging business are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations.
The following summarizes the revenues and expenses of the discontinued operations as reported in the consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
The gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $1,038.5 million includes charges totaling $62.1 million for debt retirement costs, consisting principally of redemption premiums and write off of unamortized fees, and a gain of $8.7 million for curtailment and settlement of pension and other postretirement benefits. The gain also includes a net provision for income taxes of $38.2 million, consisting of taxes on the gain of $445.0 million that are substantially offset by a credit of $406.8 million for the reversal of valuation allowances against existing tax loss carryforwards. The sale agreement provides for an adjustment of the selling price based on working capital levels and certain other factors. The Company does not expect any price adjustment to have a material effect on the reported gain on the sale of discontinued operations or cash flows.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those maintained with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2007.
Management concluded that the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company is undertaking the phased implementation of a global Enterprise Resource Planning software system and believes it is maintaining and monitoring appropriate internal controls during the implementation period. The Company believes that the internal control environment will be enhanced as a result of implementation.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. However, all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and reporting.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment management used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO framework).
98
Based on this assessment, using the criteria above, management concluded that the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which is included below.
99
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Share Owner of
Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.
We have audited Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Owens-Illinois Group, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of results of operations, share owner’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 and our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Share Owner of
Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of results of operations, net Parent investment, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 1, 13 & 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation, defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans, respectively, in 2006.

Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidated Statements The consolidated financial statements of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. (“Company”) include the accounts of its subsidiaries. Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from dates of acquisition.
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has a significant ownership interest, generally 20% to 50%. Other investments are accounted for at cost. The Company monitors investments for other than temporary declines in fair value and records reductions in carrying values when appropriate.
Relationship with Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. and Owens-Illinois, Inc. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. (“OI Group”) and an indirect subsidiary of Owens-Illinois, Inc. (“OI Inc.”). Although OI Inc. does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations related to outstanding indebtedness, dividends for preferred stock and asbestos-related payments. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from its direct and indirect subsidiaries to meet these obligations.
For federal and certain state income tax purposes, the taxable income of the Company is included in the consolidated tax returns of OI Inc. and income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns.
Nature of Operations The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass container products. The Company’s principal product lines in the Glass Containers product segment are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. The Company has glass container operations located in 22 countries. The principal markets and operations for the Company’s glass products are in North America, Europe, South America, and Australia.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, at which time the Company would revise its estimates accordingly.
Cash The Company defines “cash” as cash and time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are included in accounts payable.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported for cash, short-term investments and short-term loans approximate fair value. In addition, carrying amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined interest rates. Fair values for the Company’s significant fixed rate debt obligations are generally based on published market quotations.
Derivative Instruments The Company uses currency swaps, interest rate swaps, options, and commodity futures contracts to manage risks generally associated with foreign exchange rate, interest rate and commodity market volatility. Derivative financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value. Whenever possible, derivative instruments are designated as and are effective as hedges, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, all changes in fair value of the related derivatives that have not been settled are recognized in current earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivatives. In accordance with FAS No. 104, cash flows from fair value hedges of debt and short-term forward exchange contracts are classified as a financing
115
Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
activity. Cash flows of currency swaps, interest rate swaps, and commodity futures contracts are classified as operating activities. See Note 8 for additional information related to derivative instruments.
Inventory Valuation The Company values most U.S. inventories at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Other inventories are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs) or market.
Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is evaluated annually, as of October 1, for impairment or more frequently if an impairment indicator exists.
Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets Intangible assets are amortized over the expected useful life of the asset. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicate that impairment may exist. If impairment exists, the asset is written down to fair value.
Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) is carried at cost and includes expenditures for new facilities and equipment and those costs which substantially increase the useful lives or capacity of existing PP&E. In general, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset. Factory machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from 5 to 25 years with the majority of such assets (principally glass-melting furnaces and forming machines) depreciated over 7-15 years. Buildings and building equipment are depreciated over periods ranging from 10 to 50 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Costs assigned to PP&E of acquired businesses are based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when the title to the products and risk of loss are transferred to customers. Provisions for rebates to customers are provided in the same period that the related sales are recorded.
Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included with manufacturing, shipping, and delivery costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes on Undistributed Earnings In general, the Company plans to continue to reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint ventures accounted for by the equity method. Accordingly, taxes are provided only on that amount of undistributed earnings in excess of planned reinvestments.
Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of substantially all subsidiaries and associates are translated at current exchange rates and any related translation adjustments are recorded directly in net Parent investment.
Accounts Receivable Receivables are stated at amounts estimated by management to be the net realizable value. The Company charges off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent based upon age or customer circumstances that amounts will not be collected.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to the provision for bad debts. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a periodic basis. The evaluation includes historical trends in collections and write-offs, management’s judgment of the probability of collecting accounts and management’s evaluation of business risk.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
New Accounting Standards In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS No. 157”). FAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The statement does not require any new fair value measurements. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of FAS No. 157 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS No. 159”). FAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of FAS No. 159 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“FAS No. 141R”). FAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. FAS No. 141R also sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, FAS No. 141R will be applied by the Company to business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS No. 160”). FAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS No. 160 is effective for years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Adoption of FAS No. 160 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Participation in OI Inc. Stock Option Plans and Other Stock Based Compensation The Company participates in the equity compensation plans of OI Inc. under which employees of the Company may be granted options to purchase common shares of OI Inc., restricted common shares of OI Inc., or restricted share units of OI Inc.
Stock Options
For options granted prior to March 22, 2005, no options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to accelerated exercisability provisions related to the performance of OI Inc.’s common stock or change of control, 50% of the options become exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the date of the option grant, with the remaining 50% becoming exercisable on the sixth anniversary date of the option grant. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant.
For options granted after March 21, 2005, no options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to change in control, these options become exercisable
117
Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
25% per year beginning on the first anniversary. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the seventh anniversary of the option grant.
The fair value of options granted before March 22, 2005, is amortized ratably over five years or a shorter period if the grant becomes subject to accelerated exercisability provisions related to the performance of OI Inc.’s common stock. The fair value of options granted after March 21, 2005, is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.
Restricted Shares
Shares granted to employees prior to March 22, 2005, generally vest after three years or upon retirement, whichever is later. Shares granted after March 21, 2005, vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary and unvested shares are forfeited upon termination of employment. Shares granted to directors vest on the third anniversary of the share grant or the end of the director’s then current term on the board, whichever is later.
The fair value of the shares is equal to the market price of the shares on the date of the grant. The fair value of restricted shares granted before March 22, 2005, is amortized ratably over the vesting period. The fair value of restricted shares granted after March 21, 2005, is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.
Performance Vested Restricted Share Units
Restricted share units vest on January 1 of the third year following the year in which they are granted. Holders of vested units receive 0.5 to 1.5 shares of OI Inc.’s common stock for each unit, depending upon the attainment of consolidated performance goals established by the Compensation Committee of OI Inc.’s Board of Directors. If minimum goals are not met, no shares will be issued. Granted but unvested restricted share units are forfeited upon termination of employment, unless certain retirement criteria are met.
The fair value of each restricted share unit is equal to the product of the fair value of OI Inc.’s common stock on the date of grant and the estimated number of shares into which the restricted share unit will be converted. The fair value of restricted share units is amortized ratably over the vesting period. Should the estimated number of shares into which the restricted share unit will be converted change, an adjustment will be recorded to recognize the accumulated difference in amortization between the revised and previous estimates.
Accounting
Prior to January 1, 2006, OI Inc. accounted for these equity compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations, as permitted by FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS No. 123). As such, compensation cost for stock options was not recognized in the Consolidated Results of Operations since all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Prior to January 1, 2006, compensation cost was recognized for restricted shares and restricted share units. Effective January 1, 2006, OI Inc. adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS No. 123R), using the modified-prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized after January 1, 2006 includes: (1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted through December 31, 2005, but for which the requisite service period had not been completed as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
118
Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
provisions of FAS No.123, and (2) compensation cost for share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 123R.
As discussed in Note 11, costs incurred under these plans by OI Inc. related to stock-based compensation awards granted directly to the Company’s employees are included in the allocable costs charged to the Company and other operating subsidiaries of OI Inc. on an intercompany basis.

If the inventories which are valued on the LIFO method had been valued at standard costs, which approximate current costs, consolidated inventories would be higher than reported by $29.1 million and $20.8 million, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Inventories which are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs), or market at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $872.8 million and $859.3 million, respectively.

On June 14, 2006, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”). At December 31, 2007, the Agreement included a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, a 225.0 million Australian dollar term loan, and a 110.8 million Canadian dollar term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 15, 2012. It also included a $191.5 million term loan and a €191.5 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 14, 2013.
At December 31, 2007 the Company’s subsidiary borrowers had unused credit of $820.9 million available under the Agreement.
The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, at the Company’s option, the Base Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a margin linked to the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Agreement. The margin is limited to ranges of 1.125% to 2.0% for Eurodollar loans and 0.125% to 1.0% for Base Rate loans. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, 2007 was 6.67%. While no compensating balances are required by the Agreement, the Borrowers must pay a facility fee on the Revolving Credit Facility commitments ranging from 0.20% to 0.50%.
Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, which have a book value of approximately $2.3 billion. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All borrowings under the agreement are guaranteed by substantially all domestic subsidiaries of the Company for the term of the Agreement.

Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Agreement contains covenants and provisions that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, enter into contingent obligations, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, loans or advances, make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the business conducted, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. In addition, the Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and meet specified tests based upon financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, maximum leverage ratios and specified capital expenditure tests.
During March 2007, a subsidiary of the Company issued Senior Notes totaling €300.0 million. The notes bear interest at 6.875% and are due March 31, 2017. The notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds were used to retire the $300 million principal amount of OI Inc.’s 8.10% Senior Notes which matured in May 2007, and to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
On July 31, 2007, the OI Inc. completed the sale of its plastics packaging business to Rexam PLC for approximately $1.825 billion in cash. In accordance with an amendment of the Agreement that became effective upon completion of the sale of the plastics business, the Company was required to use the net proceeds (as defined in the Agreement) to repay senior secured debt. In addition, the amendment provides for modification of certain covenants, including the elimination of the financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a specified interest coverage ratio. OI Inc. used a portion of the net proceeds in the third quarter of 2007 to redeem all $450.0 million of the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and repurchase $283.1 million of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes. The remaining $566.9 million of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes were repurchased or discharged in accordance with the indenture in October 2007. The remaining net proceeds, along with funds from operations and/or additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility, were used to redeem all $625.0 million of the 8.75% Senior Secured Notes on November 15, 2007. The Company recorded $9.5 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.
During July of 2006, a subsidiary of the Company used borrowings under the Agreement to repurchase $150.0 million principal amount of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded $7.3 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company expanded the capacity of its European accounts receivable securitization program from €200 million to €320 million to include operations in Italy and the United Kingdom. The accounts receivable securitization program provides lower costs of financing than traditional bank debt. The terms of this expansion resulted in changing from off-balance sheet to on-balance sheet accounting for the program by consolidating both the accounts receivable in the program and the secured indebtedness of the same amount. Cash inflows related to receipts from customers in payment of the accounts receivable consolidated at December 13, 2005 have been classified as investing cash inflows in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
During October of 2006, the Company entered into a new €300 million European accounts receivable securitization program. The new program replaced the previous European program, described in the preceding paragraph, which was set to terminate in October 2006.
Information related to the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program is as follows:

123
Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Fair Value Hedges
In the fourth quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements with a current total notional amount of $750 million that mature from 2008 through 2013. The swaps were executed in order to: (i) convert a portion of the senior notes and senior debentures fixed-rate debt into floating-rate debt; (ii) maintain a capital structure containing appropriate amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt; and (iii) reduce net interest payments and expense in the near-term.
The Company’s fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges. Because the relevant terms of the swap agreements match the corresponding terms of the notes, there is no hedge ineffectiveness. Accordingly, the Company recorded the net of the fair market values of the swaps as a long-term asset (liability) along with a corresponding net increase (decrease) in the carrying value of the hedged debt.
Under the swaps, the Company receives fixed rate interest amounts (equal to interest on the corresponding hedged note) and pays interest at a six-month U.S. LIBOR rate (set in arrears) plus a margin spread (see table below). The interest rate differential on each swap is recognized as an adjustment of interest expense during each six-month period over the term of the agreement.

Commodity Hedges
The Company enters into commodity futures contracts related to forecasted natural gas requirements, the objectives of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows. The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market with respect to its forecasted usage requirements over the next twelve to eighteen months and periodically enters into commodity futures contracts in order to hedge a portion of its usage requirements over that period. At December 31, 2007, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts for approximately 50% (approximately 11,680,000 MM BTUs) of its estimated North American usage requirements for the full year of 2008.
The Company accounts for the above futures contracts on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge is recorded in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Any material portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is deemed to be ineffective is recognized in current earnings.
124
Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The above futures contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2007.
At December 31, 2007, an unrecognized loss of $4.5 million (pretax and after tax), related to the domestic commodity futures contracts, was included in OCI, which will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months. The ineffectiveness related to these natural gas hedges for the year ended December 31, 2007 was not material.
Other Hedges
The Company’s subsidiaries may enter into short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign currencies at set rates in the future. These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. Subsidiaries may also use forward exchange agreements to offset the foreign currency risk for receivables and payables not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies. The Company records these short-term forward exchange agreements on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value are recognized in current earnings.
Balance Sheet Classification
The Company records the fair values of derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as follows: (1) receivables if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity within one year, (2) deposits, receivables, and other assets if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity after one year, (3) accounts payable and other current liabilities if the instrument has a negative fair value and maturity within one year, and (4) other liabilities if the instrument has a negative fair value and maturity after one year.
10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The components of comprehensive income are: (a) net earnings; (b) change in fair value of certain derivative instruments; (c) pension and other postretirement benefit adjustments; and (d) foreign currency translation adjustments. The net effect of exchange rate fluctuations generally reflects changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies between the beginning and end of the year.
The following table lists the beginning balance, yearly activity and ending balance of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss):

In 2007 the Company implemented a plan to restructure the ownership and intercompany obligations of certain foreign subsidiaries. These actions resulted in taxation of a significant portion of previously unremitted foreign earnings and will transfer a portion of the Company’s debt service obligations to operations outside the U.S. in order to better balance operating cash flows with financing costs on a global basis. The foreign earnings reported as taxable in the U.S. were offset by net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits. Foreign tax credit carryforwards arising from the restructuring were fully offset by an increase in the valuation allowance.
The Company has tax holidays in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions which expire between 2012 and 2015.
The Company is included in OI Inc.’s consolidated tax returns. OI Inc. has net operating losses, capital losses, alternative minimum tax credits, and research and development credits available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax.
At December 31, 2007, the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $1,399.2 million. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the non-U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which would be payable should these earnings be distributed.
12. Related Party Transactions Charges for administrative services are allocated to the Company by OI Inc. based on an annual utilization level. Such services include compensation and benefits administration, payroll processing, use of certain general accounting systems, auditing, income tax planning and compliance, and treasury services.
Allocated costs also include charges associated with OI Inc.’s equity compensation plans. A substantial number of the options, restricted shares and restricted share units granted under these plans have been granted to key employees of another subsidiary of OI Inc., some of whose compensation costs, including stock-based compensation, are included in an allocation of costs to all operating subsidiaries of OI Inc., including the Company.

Intercompany interest is charged to the Company from OI Inc. based on intercompany debt balances. An interest rate is calculated monthly based on OI Inc.’s total consolidated monthly external debt balance and the related interest expense, including finance fee amortization and commitment fees. The calculated rate (7.6% at December 31, 2007) is applied monthly to the intercompany debt balance to determine intercompany interest expense.
13. Pension Benefit Plans The Company participates in OI Inc.’s defined benefit pension plans for substantially all employees located in the United States. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of service for hourly employees. OI Inc.’s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. Independent actuaries determine pension costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc. included in the plans; however, accumulated benefit obligation information and plan assets pertaining to each subsidiary have not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated benefit obligation and the plan assets related to the pension plans for domestic employees have been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc. Net credits to results of operations for the Company’s allocated portion of the domestic pension costs amounted to $23.0 million in 2007, $7.7 million in 2006, and $21.5 million in 2005.
OI Inc. also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salaried and hourly U.S. employees of the Company. Participation is voluntary and participants’ contributions are based on their compensation. OI Inc. matches contributions of participants, up to various limits, in substantially all plans. OI Inc. charges the Company for its share of the match. The Company’s share of the contributions to these plans amounted to $5.7 million in 2007, $5.5 million in 2006, and $5.2 million in 2005.
The Company’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Germany and France also have pension plans covering substantially all employees. The following tables relate to the

Future benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent with past experience of the plans, which, to the extent benefits are based on compensation, includes assumed salary increases as presented above. Amortization included in net pension expense is based on the average remaining service of employees.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the minimum pension liability for the pension plan in the United Kingdom from the minimum liabilities recorded in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company decreased the minimum pension liability by $38.5 million and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $38.5 million.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the minimum pension liability for the pension plan in Canada from the minimum liabilities recorded in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company decreased the minimum pension liability by $9.7 million and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $9.7 million.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the minimum pension liability for the pension plan in Germany from the minimum liabilities recorded in 2005. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company decreased the minimum pension liability by $6.8 million and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $6.8 million.
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 (“FAS No. 158”), “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” as of December 31, 2006. FAS No. 158 requires employers to adjust the assets and liabilities related to defined benefit plans so that the amounts reflected on the balance sheet represent the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans. These funded status amounts are measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date. For pension plans, the fair value of plan assets is compared to the Projected Benefit Obligation (“PBO”). In the Company’s case, the required adjustments resulted in a non-cash charge to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of net parent investment.

For 2007, the Company’s weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was 7.16%. In developing this assumption, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers, including their review of asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions. The Company also considered its historical 10-year average return (through December 31, 2006), which was in line with the expected long-term rate of return assumption for 2007.

It is the Company’s policy to invest pension plan assets in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes within the above target asset allocation ranges. The investment risk of the assets is limited by appropriate diversification both within and between asset classes. The assets are primarily invested in a broad mix of domestic and international equities, domestic and international bonds, and real estate, subject to the target asset allocation ranges. The assets are managed with a view to ensuring that sufficient liquidity will be available to meet expected cash flow requirements.
The Company expects to contribute $62.0 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2008.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions OI Inc. provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees and substantially all employees in Canada and The Netherlands. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Independent actuaries determine postretirement benefit costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc.; however, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation information pertaining to each subsidiary has not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation has been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc.
The Company’s net periodic postretirement benefit cost, as allocated by OI Inc., for domestic employees was $8.1 million, $14.7 million, and $14.5 million at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Benefits provided by OI Inc. for certain hourly retirees of the Company are determined by collective bargaining. Most other domestic hourly retirees receive health and life insurance benefits from a multi-employer trust established by collective bargaining. Payments to the trust as required by the bargaining agreements are based upon specified amounts per hour worked and were $7.4 million in 2007, $6.6 million in 2006, and $5.7 million in 2005. Postretirement health and life benefits for retirees of foreign subsidiaries are generally provided through the national health care programs of the countries in which the subsidiaries are located.
FAS No. 158 requires employers to adjust the assets and liabilities related to defined benefit plans so that the amounts reflected on the balance sheet represent the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans. These funded status amounts are measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date. For other postretirement benefit plans, the fair value of plan assets is compared to the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation (“APBO”). In the Company’s case, the required adjustments resulted in a non-cash charge to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of net parent investment. The following table shows the impact on the balance sheet of applying FAS No. 158 at December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions):

15. Other Revenue Other revenue in 2006 includes a gain of $15.9 million ($11.2 million after tax) related to curtailment of certain postretirement benefits in The Netherlands.
Other revenue in 2005 includes $28.1 million (pretax and after tax) for the sale of the Company’s Corsico, Italy glass container facility.
16. Other Costs and Expenses Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 included the following:
· During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company recorded charges totaling $100.3 million ($84.1 million after tax), for restructuring and asset impairment in the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. The charges reflect the initial conclusions of the Company’s global profitability review.
In the Company’s 50%-owned affiliate in the Caribbean, declining productivity and cash flows resulted in impairment of the Company’s equity investment, establishment of valuation allowances against advances to the affiliate, and accrual of certain contingent obligations for total charges of $45.0 million.
In Europe and North America, the Company decided to curtail selected production capacity. Because the future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset groups were not sufficient to recover their carrying amounts, the assets were considered impaired. As a result the assets were written down to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The curtailment of plant capacity resulted in elimination of approximately 558 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company accrued certain employee separation costs, plant clean up, and other exit costs. In total, impairments, accrued costs, and other valuation adjustments amounted to $55.3 million with probable future cash expenditures amounting to $30.6 million. The Company expects that the majority of these costs will be paid out by the end of 2008.
Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 included the following:
· During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($25.6 million after tax) related to the closing of its Godfrey, Illinois machine parts manufacturing operation. See Note 17 for additional details.
Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 included the following:
139
Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
· During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a charge of $494.0 million to write down a portion of the goodwill in its Asia Pacific Glass business unit. See Note 21 for more information.
· Manufacturing costs for the second quarter of 2005 included a favorable adjustment for depreciation and amortization in connection with finalizing the fair values of the BSN Glasspack assets acquired in June 2004. The difference between the estimated amounts recorded in 2004 and the final amounts related to 2004 accounted for a benefit of approximately $6.5 million.
17. Restructuring Accruals In September 2006, the Company announced the permanent closing of its Godfrey, Illinois machine parts manufacturing and assembly operation. The facility was closed by the end of 2006. This closing is part of a broad initiative to reduce working capital and improve system costs. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($25.6 million after tax) in other costs and expenses in the third quarter of 2006.
The closing of this facility resulted in the elimination of approximately 260 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company anticipates that it will pay out approximately $12.0 million in cash related to insurance, benefits, plant clean up, and other plant closing costs. The Company expects that the majority of these costs will be paid out by the end of 2008.

During the second quarter of 2005, the Company concluded its evaluation of acquired capacity in connection with the acquisition of BSN Glasspack S.A. and announced the permanent closing of its Düsseldorf, Germany glass container factory, and the shutdown of a furnace at its Reims, France glass container facility, both in 2005. These actions were part of the European integration strategy to optimally align the manufacturing capacities with the market and improve operational efficiencies. As a result, the Company recorded an accrual of €47.1 million through an adjustment to goodwill.
These actions resulted in the elimination of approximately 400 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company anticipates that it will pay a total of approximately €110.9 million in cash related to severance, benefits, plant clean-up, and other plant closing costs related to restructuring accruals.
The European restructuring accrual recorded in the second quarter of 2005 was in addition to the initial estimated accrual of €63.8 million recorded in 2004. Selected information related to the restructuring accrual is as follows, with 2007 activity translated from Euros into dollars at the December 31, 2007 exchange rate:

18. Contingencies Certain litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are nonroutine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief. In accordance with FAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” the Company records a liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the factors upon which the estimates are based including additional information, negotiations, settlements, and other events. The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company in respect to this pending litigation cannot be estimated with certainty. However, the Company believes, based on its examination and review of such matters and experience to date, that such ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.
19. Segment Information During 2007, the Company redefined its reportable segments and divided the former Glass Containers segment into four geographic segments: (1) North America; (2) Europe; (3) Asia Pacific; (4) South America. These four segments are aligned with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass operations. In connection with this change, certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing are reported with Other. These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, global engineering, and non-glass equity investments. Amounts for 2006 and 2005 in the following tables are presented on the redefined basis.
The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is Segment Operating Profit, which consists of consolidated earnings before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes and minority share owners’ interests in earnings of subsidiaries and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations. The Company’s management uses Segment Operating Profit, in combination with selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.
Segment Operating Profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.
Financial information regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that impairment existed in the goodwill of its Asia Pacific Glass business unit. Lower projected cash flows principally as a result of competitive pricing pressures in the Company’s Australian glass operations caused the decline in the business enterprise value. Following a review of the valuation of the unit’s identifiable assets using discounted cash flow measurement techniques, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $494.0 million to reduce the reported value of its goodwill.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Share Owner of
Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of results of operations, net Parent investment, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 1, 12 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation, defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans, respectively, in 2006.

Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidated Statements The consolidated financial statements of Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. (“Company”) include the accounts of its subsidiaries. Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from dates of acquisition.
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has a significant ownership interest, generally 20% to 50%. Other investments are accounted for at cost. The Company monitors investments for other than temporary declines in fair value and records reductions in carrying values when appropriate.
Relationship with Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc., Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. and Owens-Illinois, Inc. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. (“OB Packaging”), and an indirect subsidiary of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. (“OI Group”) and Owens-Illinois, Inc. (“OI Inc.”). Although OI Inc. does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations related to outstanding indebtedness, dividends for preferred stock and asbestos-related payments. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from its direct and indirect subsidiaries to meet these obligations.
For federal and certain state income tax purposes, the taxable income of the Company is included in the consolidated tax returns of OI Inc. and income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns.
Nature of Operations The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass container products. The Company’s principal product lines in the Glass Containers product segment are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. The Company has glass container operations located in 22 countries. The principal markets and operations for the Company’s glass products are in North America, Europe, South America, and Australia.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, at which time the Company would revise its estimates accordingly.
Cash The Company defines “cash” as cash and time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are included in accounts payable.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported for cash, short-term investments and short-term loans approximate fair value. In addition, carrying amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined interest rates. Fair values for the Company’s significant fixed rate debt obligations are generally based on published market quotations.
Derivative Instruments The Company uses currency swaps, interest rate swaps, options, and commodity futures contracts to manage risks generally associated with foreign exchange rate, interest rate and commodity market volatility. Derivative financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value. Whenever possible, derivative instruments are designated as and are effective as hedges, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, all changes in fair value of the related derivatives that have not been settled are recognized in current earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivatives. In accordance with FAS No. 104, cash flows from fair value hedges of debt and short-term forward exchange contracts are classified as a financing
151
Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
activity. Cash flows of currency swaps, interest rate swaps, and commodity futures contracts are classified as operating activities. See Note 8 for additional information related to derivative instruments.
Inventory Valuation The Company values most U.S. inventories at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Other inventories are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs) or market.
Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is evaluated annually, as of October 1, for impairment or more frequently if an impairment indicator exists.
Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets Intangible assets are amortized over the expected useful life of the asset. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicate that impairment may exist. If impairment exists, the asset is written down to fair value.
Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) is carried at cost and includes expenditures for new facilities and equipment and those costs which substantially increase the useful lives or capacity of existing PP&E. In general, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset. Factory machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from 5 to 25 years with the majority of such assets (principally glass-melting furnaces and forming machines) depreciated over 7-15 years. Buildings and building equipment are depreciated over periods ranging from 10 to 50 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Costs assigned to PP&E of acquired businesses are based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when the title to the products and risk of loss are transferred to customers. Provisions for rebates to customers are provided in the same period that the related sales are recorded.
Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included with manufacturing, shipping, and delivery costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes on Undistributed Earnings In general, the Company plans to continue to reinvest the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint ventures accounted for by the equity method. Accordingly, taxes are provided only on that amount of undistributed earnings in excess of planned reinvestments.
Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of substantially all subsidiaries and associates are translated at current exchange rates and any related translation adjustments are recorded directly in net Parent investment.
Accounts Receivable Receivables are stated at amounts estimated by management to be the net realizable value. The Company charges off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent based upon age or customer circumstances that amounts will not be collected.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to the provision for bad debts. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a periodic basis. The evaluation includes historical trends in collections and write-offs, management’s judgment of the probability of collecting accounts and management’s evaluation of business risk.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
New Accounting Standards In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS No. 157”). FAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The statement does not require any new fair value measurements. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of FAS No. 157 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS No. 159”). FAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of FAS No. 159 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“FAS No. 141R”). FAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. FAS No. 141R also sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, FAS No. 141R will be applied by the Company to business combinations occurring on or after January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS No. 160”). FAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS No. 160 is effective for years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Adoption of FAS No. 160 is not presently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Participation in OI Inc. Stock Option Plans and Other Stock Based Compensation The Company participates in the equity compensation plans of OI Inc. under which employees of the Company may be granted options to purchase common shares of OI Inc., restricted common shares of OI Inc., or restricted share units of OI Inc.
Stock Options
For options granted prior to March 22, 2005, no options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to accelerated exercisability provisions related to the performance of OI Inc.’s common stock or change of control, 50% of the options become exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the date of the option grant, with the remaining 50% becoming exercisable on the sixth anniversary date of the option grant. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant.
For options granted after March 21, 2005, no options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to change in control, these options become exercisable
153
Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
25% per year beginning on the first anniversary. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the seventh anniversary of the option grant.
The fair value of options granted before March 22, 2005, is amortized ratably over five years or a shorter period if the grant becomes subject to accelerated exercisability provisions related to the performance of OI Inc.’s common stock. The fair value of options granted after March 21, 2005, is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.
Restricted Shares
Shares granted to employees prior to March 22, 2005, generally vest after three years or upon retirement, whichever is later. Shares granted after March 21, 2005, vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary and unvested shares are forfeited upon termination of employment. Shares granted to directors vest on the third anniversary of the share grant or the end of the director’s then current term on the board, whichever is later.
The fair value of the shares is equal to the market price of the shares on the date of the grant. The fair value of restricted shares granted before March 22, 2005, is amortized ratably over the vesting period. The fair value of restricted shares granted after March 21, 2005, is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.
Performance Vested Restricted Share Units
Restricted share units vest on January 1 of the third year following the year in which they are granted. Holders of vested units receive 0.5 to 1.5 shares of OI Inc.’s common stock for each unit, depending upon the attainment of consolidated performance goals established by the Compensation Committee of OI Inc.’s Board of Directors. If minimum goals are not met, no shares will be issued. Granted but unvested restricted share units are forfeited upon termination of employment, unless certain retirement criteria are met.
The fair value of each restricted share unit is equal to the product of the fair value of OI Inc.’s common stock on the date of grant and the estimated number of shares into which the restricted share unit will be converted. The fair value of restricted share units is amortized ratably over the vesting period. Should the estimated number of shares into which the restricted share unit will be converted change, an adjustment will be recorded to recognize the accumulated difference in amortization between the revised and previous estimates.
Accounting
Prior to January 1, 2006, OI Inc. accounted for these equity compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations, as permitted by FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS No. 123). As such, compensation cost for stock options was not recognized in the Consolidated Results of Operations since all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Prior to January 1, 2006, compensation cost was recognized for restricted shares and restricted share units. Effective January 1, 2006, OI Inc. adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS No. 123R), using the modified-prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized after January 1, 2006 includes: (1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted through December 31, 2005, but for which the requisite service period had not been completed as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original

provisions of FAS No.123, and (2) compensation cost for share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 123R.
As discussed in Note 11, costs incurred under these plans by OI Inc. related to stock-based compensation awards granted directly to the Company’s employees are included in the allocable costs charged to the Company and other operating subsidiaries of OI Inc. on an intercompany basis.

On June 14, 2006, the Company’s subsidiary borrowers entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”). At December 31, 2007, the Agreement included a $900.0 million revolving credit facility, a 225.0 million Australian dollar term loan, and a 110.8 million Canadian dollar term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 15, 2012. It also included a $191.5 million term loan and a €191.5 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of June 14, 2013.
At December 31, 2007 the Company’s subsidiary borrowers had unused credit of $820.9 million available under the Agreement.
The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, at the Company’s option, the Base Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar rate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a margin linked to the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Agreement. The margin is limited to ranges of 1.125% to 2.0% for Eurodollar loans and 0.125% to 1.0% for Base Rate loans. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, 2007 was 6.67%. While no compensating balances are required by the Agreement, the Borrowers must pay a facility fee on the Revolving Credit Facility commitments ranging from 0.20% to 0.50%.
Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, which have a book value of approximately $2.3 billion. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All borrowings under the agreement are guaranteed by substantially all domestic subsidiaries of the Company for the term of the Agreement.

Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Agreement contains covenants and provisions that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, enter into contingent obligations, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, loans or advances, make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the business conducted, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. In addition, the Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and meet specified tests based upon financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, maximum leverage ratios and specified capital expenditure tests.
During March 2007, a subsidiary of the Company issued Senior Notes totaling €300.0 million. The notes bear interest at 6.875% and are due March 31, 2017. The notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds were used to retire the $300 million principal amount of OI Inc.’s 8.10% Senior Notes which matured in May 2007, and to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
On July 31, 2007, the OI Inc. completed the sale of its plastics packaging business to Rexam PLC for approximately $1.825 billion in cash. In accordance with an amendment of the Agreement that became effective upon completion of the sale of the plastics business, the Company was required to use the net proceeds (as defined in the Agreement) to repay senior secured debt. In addition, the amendment provides for modification of certain covenants, including the elimination of the financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a specified interest coverage ratio. OI Inc. used a portion of the net proceeds in the third quarter of 2007 to redeem all $450.0 million of the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and repurchase $283.1 million of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes. The remaining $566.9 million of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes were repurchased or discharged in accordance with the indenture in October 2007. The remaining net proceeds, along with funds from operations and/or additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility, were used to redeem all $625.0 million of the 8.75% Senior Secured Notes on November 15, 2007. The Company recorded $9.5 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.
During July of 2006, a subsidiary of the Company used borrowings under the Agreement to repurchase $150.0 million principal amount of the 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2009. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded $7.3 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company expanded the capacity of its European accounts receivable securitization program from €200 million to €320 million to include operations in Italy and the United Kingdom. The accounts receivable securitization program provides lower costs of financing than traditional bank debt. The terms of this expansion resulted in changing from off-balance sheet to on-balance sheet accounting for the program by consolidating both the accounts receivable in the program and the secured indebtedness of the same amount. Cash inflows related to receipts from customers in payment of the accounts receivable consolidated at December 13, 2005 have been classified as investing cash inflows in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
During October of 2006, the Company entered into a new €300 million European accounts receivable securitization program. The new program replaced the previous European program, described in the preceding paragraph, which was set to terminate in October 2006.
Information related to the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program is as follows:

7. Foreign Currency Transactions Aggregate foreign currency exchange gains (losses) included in other costs and expenses were $(8.1) million in 2007, $(1.0) million in 2006, and $2.8 million in 2005.
8. Derivative Instruments At December 31, 2007, the Company had the following derivative instruments related to its various hedging programs:
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Fair Value Hedges
In the fourth quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements with a current total notional amount of $750 million that mature from 2008 through 2013. The swaps were executed in order to: (i) convert a portion of the senior notes and senior debentures fixed-rate debt into floating-rate debt; (ii) maintain a capital structure containing appropriate
159
Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt; and (iii) reduce net interest payments and expense in the near-term.
The Company’s fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges. Because the relevant terms of the swap agreements match the corresponding terms of the notes, there is no hedge ineffectiveness. Accordingly, the Company recorded the net of the fair market values of the swaps as a long-term asset (liability) along with a corresponding net increase (decrease) in the carrying value of the hedged debt.
Under the swaps, the Company receives fixed rate interest amounts (equal to interest on the corresponding hedged note) and pays interest at a six-month U.S. LIBOR rate (set in arrears) plus a margin spread (see table below). The interest rate differential on each swap is recognized as an adjustment of interest expense during each six-month period over the term of the agreement.

Commodity Hedges
The Company enters into commodity futures contracts related to forecasted natural gas requirements, the objectives of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows. The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market with respect to its forecasted usage requirements over the next twelve to eighteen months and periodically enters into commodity futures contracts in order to hedge a portion of its usage requirements over that period. At December 31, 2007, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts for approximately 50% (approximately 11,680,000 MM BTUs) of its estimated North American usage requirements for the full year of 2008.
The Company accounts for the above futures contracts on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge is recorded in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Any material portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is deemed to be ineffective is recognized in current earnings.
The above futures contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2007.
At December 31, 2007, an unrecognized loss of $4.5 million (pretax and after tax), related to the domestic commodity futures contracts, was included in OCI, which will be reclassified into earnings over the next
160
Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
twelve months. The ineffectiveness related to these natural gas hedges for the year ended December 31, 2007 was not material.
Other Hedges
The Company’s subsidiaries may enter into short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign currencies at set rates in the future. These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. Subsidiaries may also use forward exchange agreements to offset the foreign currency risk for receivables and payables not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies. The Company records these short-term forward exchange agreements on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value are recognized in current earnings.
Balance Sheet Classification
The Company records the fair values of derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as follows: (1) receivables if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity within one year, (2) deposits, receivables, and other assets if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity after one year, (3) accounts payable and other current liabilities if the instrument has a negative fair value and maturity within one year, and (4) other liabilities if the instrument has a negative fair value and maturity after one year.
9. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The components of comprehensive income are: (a) net earnings; (b) change in fair value of certain derivative instruments; (c) pension and other postretirement benefit adjustments; and (d) foreign currency translation adjustments. The net effect of exchange rate fluctuations generally reflects changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies between the beginning and end of the year.

In 2007 the Company implemented a plan to restructure the ownership and intercompany obligations of certain foreign subsidiaries. These actions resulted in taxation of a significant portion of previously unremitted foreign earnings and will transfer a portion of the Company’s debt service obligations to operations outside the U.S. in order to better balance operating cash flows with financing costs on a global basis. The foreign earnings reported as taxable in the U.S. were offset by net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits. Foreign tax credit carryforwards arising from the restructuring were fully offset by an increase in the valuation allowance.
The Company has tax holidays in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions which expire between 2012 and 2015.
The Company is included in OI Inc.’s consolidated tax returns. OI Inc. has net operating losses, capital losses, alternative minimum tax credits, and research and development credits available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax.
At December 31, 2007, the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $1,399.2 million. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the non-U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which would be payable should these earnings be distributed.
11. Related Party Transactions Charges for administrative services are allocated to the Company by OI Inc. based on an annual utilization level. Such services include compensation and benefits administration, payroll processing, use of certain general accounting systems, auditing, income tax planning and compliance, and treasury services.
Allocated costs also include charges associated with OI Inc.’s equity compensation plans. A substantial number of the options, restricted shares and restricted share units granted under these plans have been granted to key employees of another subsidiary of OI Inc., some of whose compensation costs, including stock-based compensation, are included in an allocation of costs to all operating subsidiaries of OI Inc., including the Company.

Intercompany interest is charged to the Company from OI Inc. based on intercompany debt balances. An interest rate is calculated monthly based on OI Inc.’s total consolidated monthly external debt balance and the related interest expense, including finance fee amortization and commitment fees. The calculated rate (7.6% at December 31, 2007) is applied monthly to the intercompany debt balance to determine intercompany interest expense.
12. Pension Benefit Plans The Company participates in OI Inc.’s defined benefit pension plans for substantially all employees located in the United States. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of service for hourly employees. OI Inc.’s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. Independent actuaries determine pension costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc. included in the plans; however, accumulated benefit obligation information and plan assets pertaining to each subsidiary have not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated benefit obligation and the plan assets related to the pension plans for domestic employees have been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc. Net credits to results of operations for the Company’s allocated portion of the domestic pension costs amounted to $23.0 million in 2007, $7.7 million in 2006, and $21.5 million in 2005.
OI Inc. also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salaried and hourly U.S. employees of the Company. Participation is voluntary and participants’ contributions are based on their compensation. OI Inc. matches contributions of participants, up to various limits, in substantially all plans. OI Inc. charges the Company for its share of the match. The Company’s share of the contributions to these plans amounted to $5.7 million in 2007, $5.5 million in 2006, and $5.2 million in 2005.
The Company’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Germany and France also have pension plans covering substantially all employees. The following tables relate to the

As of December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the minimum pension liability for the pension plan in the United Kingdom from the minimum liabilities recorded in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company decreased the minimum pension liability by $38.5 million and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $38.5 million.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the minimum pension liability for the pension plan in Canada from the minimum liabilities recorded in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company decreased the minimum pension liability by $9.7 million and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $9.7 million.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the minimum pension liability for the pension plan in Germany from the minimum liabilities recorded in 2005. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company decreased the minimum pension liability by $6.8 million and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $6.8 million.
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 (“FAS No. 158”), “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” as of December 31, 2006. FAS No. 158 requires employers to adjust the assets and liabilities related to defined benefit plans so that the amounts reflected on the balance sheet represent the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans. These funded status amounts are measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date. For pension plans, the fair value of plan assets is compared to the Projected Benefit Obligation (“PBO”). In the Company’s case, the required adjustments resulted in a non-cash charge to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of net parent investment.

For 2007, the Company’s weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was 7.16%. In developing this assumption, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers, including their review of asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions. The Company also considered its historical 10-year average return (through December 31, 2006), which was in line with the expected long-term rate of return assumption for 2007.

It is the Company’s policy to invest pension plan assets in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes within the above target asset allocation ranges. The investment risk of the assets is limited by appropriate diversification both within and between asset classes. The assets are primarily invested in a broad mix of domestic and international equities, domestic and international bonds, and real estate, subject to the target asset allocation ranges. The assets are managed with a view to ensuring that sufficient liquidity will be available to meet expected cash flow requirements.
The Company expects to contribute $62.0 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2008.

13. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions OI Inc. provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees and substantially all employees in Canada and The Netherlands. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Independent actuaries determine postretirement benefit costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc.; however, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation information pertaining to each subsidiary has not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation has been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc.
The Company’s net periodic postretirement benefit cost, as allocated by OI Inc., for domestic employees was $8.1 million, $14.7 million, and $14.5 million at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
The Company’s subsidiaries in Canada and the Netherlands also have postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all employees. The following tables relate to the Company’s postretirement benefit plan in Canada and the Netherlands (the International Postretirement Benefit Plans).

Benefits provided by OI Inc. for certain hourly retirees of the Company are determined by collective bargaining. Most other domestic hourly retirees receive health and life insurance benefits from a multi-employer trust established by collective bargaining. Payments to the trust as required by the bargaining agreements are based upon specified amounts per hour worked and were $7.4 million in 2007, $6.6 million in 2006, and $5.7 million in 2005. Postretirement health and life benefits for retirees of foreign subsidiaries are generally provided through the national health care programs of the countries in which the subsidiaries are located.
FAS No. 158 requires employers to adjust the assets and liabilities related to defined benefit plans so that the amounts reflected on the balance sheet represent the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans. These funded status amounts are measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date. For other postretirement benefit plans, the fair value of plan assets is compared to the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation (“APBO”). In the Company’s case, the required adjustments resulted in a non-cash charge to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of net parent investment. The following table shows the impact on the balance sheet of applying FAS No. 158 at December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions):

14. Other Revenue Other revenue in 2006 includes a gain of $15.9 million ($11.2 million after tax) related to curtailment of certain postretirement benefits in The Netherlands.
Other revenue in 2005 includes $28.1 million (pretax and after tax) for the sale of the Company’s Corsico, Italy glass container facility.
15. Other Costs and Expenses Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 included the following:
· During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company recorded charges totaling $100.3 million ($84.1 million after tax), for restructuring and asset impairment in the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. The charges reflect the initial conclusions of the Company’s global profitability review.
In the Company’s 50%-owned affiliate in the Caribbean, declining productivity and cash flows resulted in impairment of the Company’s equity investment, establishment of valuation allowances against advances to the affiliate, and accrual of certain contingent obligations for total charges of $45.0 million.
In Europe and North America, the Company decided to curtail selected production capacity. Because the future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset groups were not sufficient to recover their carrying amounts, the assets were considered impaired. As a result the assets were written down to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The curtailment of plant capacity resulted in elimination of approximately 558 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company accrued certain employee separation costs, plant clean up, and other exit costs. In total, impairments, accrued costs, and other valuation adjustments amounted to $55.3 million with probable future cash expenditures amounting to $30.6 million. The Company expects that the majority of these costs will be paid out by the end of 2008.
Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 included the following:
· During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($25.6 million after tax) related to the closing of its Godfrey, Illinois machine parts manufacturing operation. See Note 16 for additional details.
Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 included the following:
175
Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
· During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a charge of $494.0 million to write down a portion of the goodwill in its Asia Pacific Glass business unit. See Note 21 for more information.
· Manufacturing costs for the second quarter of 2005 included a favorable adjustment for depreciation and amortization in connection with finalizing the fair values of the BSN Glasspack assets acquired in June 2004. The difference between the estimated amounts recorded in 2004 and the final amounts related to 2004 accounted for a benefit of approximately $6.5 million.
16. Restructuring Accruals In September 2006, the Company announced the permanent closing of its Godfrey, Illinois machine parts manufacturing and assembly operation. The facility was closed by the end of 2006. This closing is part of a broad initiative to reduce working capital and improve system costs. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded a charge of $27.5 million ($25.6 million after tax) in other costs and expenses in the third quarter of 2006.
The closing of this facility resulted in the elimination of approximately 260 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company anticipates that it will pay out approximately $12.0 million in cash related to insurance, benefits, plant clean up, and other plant closing costs. The Company expects that the majority of these costs will be paid out by the end of 2008.

During the second quarter of 2005, the Company concluded its evaluation of acquired capacity in connection with the acquisition of BSN Glasspack S.A. and announced the permanent closing of its Düsseldorf, Germany glass container factory, and the shutdown of a furnace at its Reims, France glass container facility, both in 2005. These actions were part of the European integration strategy to optimally align the manufacturing capacities with the market and improve operational efficiencies. As a result, the Company recorded an accrual of €47.1 million through an adjustment to goodwill.
These actions resulted in the elimination of approximately 400 jobs and a corresponding reduction in the Company’s workforce. The Company anticipates that it will pay a total of approximately €110.9 million in cash related to severance, benefits, plant clean-up, and other plant closing costs related to restructuring accruals.
The European restructuring accrual recorded in the second quarter of 2005 was in addition to the initial estimated accrual of €63.8 million recorded in 2004. Selected information related to the restructuring accrual is as follows, with 2007 activity translated from Euros into dollars at the December 31, 2007 exchange rate:

17. Contingencies Certain litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are nonroutine and involve compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief. In accordance with FAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” the Company records a liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the factors upon which the estimates are based including additional information, negotiations, settlements, and other events. The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company in respect to this pending litigation cannot be estimated with certainty. However, the Company believes, based on its examination and review of such matters and experience to date, that such ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.
18. Segment Information During 2007, the Company redefined its reportable segments and divided the former Glass Containers segment into four geographic segments: (1) North America; (2) Europe; (3) Asia Pacific; (4) South America. These four segments are aligned with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass operations. In connection with this change, certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing are reported with Other. These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, global engineering, and non-glass equity investments. Amounts for 2006 and 2005 in the following tables are presented on the redefined basis.
The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is Segment Operating Profit, which consists of consolidated earnings before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes and minority share owners’ interests in earnings of subsidiaries and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations. The Company’s management uses Segment Operating Profit, in combination with selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.
Segment Operating Profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.
Financial information regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

During the fourth quarter of 2005, the company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that impairment existed in the goodwill of its asia pacific glass business unit. Lower projected cash flows principally as a result of competitive pricing pressures in the company’s australian glass operations caused the decline in the business enterprise value. Following a review of the valuation of the unit’s identifiable assets using discounted cash flow measurement techniques, the company recorded an impairment charge of $494.0 million to reduce the reported value of its goodwill.
